Dystonia Matters Podcast Season One

Season one of our podcast was a huge success with over a thousand listeners tuning in to hear stories from people across the dystonia community. Six episodes covering a range of topics from work to mental health.

Dystonia Matters Podcast logo

Our podcasts are all about sharing your stories and hearing from the community. We know how important it is to hear other people’s stories and know you are not alone. Podcasts allow us to literally share your voices.

One supporter said, “I've listened to the podcast... and cried. It is wonderful to realise you're not alone and agree that it would be lovely to get to the point where people don't say 'What IS dystonia?'"

Check out the six episodes of season one below. Subscribe now on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and all major podcasting platforms.

Dystonia Matters and so does your voice, so if you would like to share your story, please pop us an email and a member of the team will contact you.
