How I used a #podcast to help my Aphasia

People with #Aphasia never fully recover, but certain strategies can help. With the help of my wife, who came up with the idea of using flashcards, I managed to regain some of my speech. Through #speechtherapy, I became more fluent.

My story begins in January 2019, during a meeting in London. I had difficulty finding the right words to speak. CT and MRI scans revealed that I had suffered a stroke due to bleeding in the brain and was diagnosed with #Aphasia.

At the start of 2020, I began feeling more positive about returning to work. I had the idea of creating a documentary about my experience with Aphasia and began working on the script.

Meanwhile, I had finished a film script a couple of years prior. Someone suggested that it would make a great radio play, and I considered turning it into a #podcast.

I contacted an old friend of mine, Rob Edwards, and with his help, we created a podcast script. While casting, I asked who would play Jerry, one of the leads, and Rob suggested that I take on the role myself. After some persuasion, I agreed.

Over the next two months, we recorded remotely with Rob and a couple of actor friends. Recording my parts was more challenging, as I still couldn’t read out loud, so we recorded them line by line and edited them into the other actors’ lines.

When the recording was complete, I created a final edit and added some original music from my old bandmates. We launched a small website, and with some #socialmediamarketing, we added the podcast to #Spotify#AppleMusic, and other sites.
