On the phone-in: Dr Roople Unia and author Jon Tattrie talk with listeners who are keen to share their experiences with Parkinson’s disease. And off the top of the show, we hear the personal story of neuroscientist Dr Harry Robertson, who’s the subject of a new book.

I was on CBC Radio recently talking about Doctor Dopamine. Host Bob Murphy took the trouble to travel out to Harry and interview him in person. He starts with a wonderful question: “How is your Parkinson’s disease today?”

And Harry launches into a his fascinating insights offered my a scientist who spent his life studying Parkinson’s now exploring it from the inside – while doing media interviews. I got to listen to Harry for two hours every Tuesday for more than a year – tune in to get a hint of his charm, intelligence, and curiosity.
