Sport, Exercise & Parkinson’s Disease: Insights from UK and Australia

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +0930

In this episode, Ben is joined by Sir Nicholas Mostyn from the Movers & Shakers podcast (UK), Associate Professor Natalie Allen from The University of Sydney, and Greg Howe, Director of Howe Jenkin, to explore how sport and exercise can improve quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s Disease.

With Sir Nicholas visiting Australia, the group compares UK and Australian approaches to physical activity and Parkinson’s care, discussing innovative programs, research findings, and real world success stories.

Professor Allen shares over two decades of research into the benefits of exercise for Parkinson’s, while Sir Nicholas offers personal insights into the Movers & Shakers movement, bringing Parkinson’s awareness to the forefront and advocating for better access to services.

Movers and Shakers: a podcast about life with Parkinson’s

Movers and Shakers finds six friends – Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer MBE, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman – gathered in a Notting Hill pub to discuss the realities of life with Parkinson’s. And maybe find a few silver linings!

Andrew Hilditch: Rare, Raw and Real

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 21:15:00 +0930

For the first time in 15 years, former Australian cricketer Andrew “Digger” Hilditch opens up about his career as a player, administrator and his controversial stint as Cricket Australia’s chairman of selectors.

Hilditch shares the back story to his powder-keg dismissal for handled the ball against Pakistan in 1979.

And speaks about his 18 years as a national cricket selector, which featured one of Australia’s most successful on-field eras in history, but also a devastating home Ashes loss in 2010/11.

And he addresses with incredible class the extraordinary media scrutiny placed on him and his family as Australia transitioned out of the Steve Waugh era.

His insight into the current state Australian cricket is as sharp as ever.

This is Andrew Hilditch as you’ve never heard him before. And may never hear again.
