| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners, today I want to talk about how to talk with young people about an older family member who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. |
| 0:11.0 | And today, we have a special guest to talk about it. |
| 0:14.6 | Please introduce yourself. |
| 0:16.1 | Yes, hi. |
| 0:16.6 | My name is Jennifer. |
| 0:17.9 | I'm the producer and host of the Fating Memories podcast. |
| 0:22.3 | It's basically a caregiver to caregiver support podcast for people like me who have a family member with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. |
