About this episode
In episode 78, Don and I had a fantastic conversation with the warm-hearted and incredibly delightful, Maria Kent Beers. Maria, along with her partner, Rachael Martinez, is the co-founder and co-host of the Remember Me Podcast + Community. Maria has always had a love of radio and editing, receiving a TV Production Degree from Boston University where she was a host of BU In The Morning Radio Show. She also spent time at MTV Radio as an intern in NYC before falling into the world of fashion merchandising for 7 years. After losing her beloved mother, Amalia to FTD in 2020, Maria had a desire to share her mom and experience as a caregiver to the world and the seed for the Remember Me Podcast + Community was planted. Since its inception, the Remember Me Podcast has tripled its audience as the awareness for brain health, Alzheimer’s and FTD continues to grow. Maria has served as a guest speaker at Alzheimer’s and caregiving conferences around the world and continues to be a resource for others on the FTD journey. Remember Me Podcast + Community has collaborated with partners such as Learn FTD, The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (The AFTD) and the Bluefield Project to share their stories and offer support to the FTD community.
