About the Podcast

Twenty-Four Seven is a podcast from Texas Public Radio and writer and caregiver Kitty Eisele. Season Two launches January 28, with an intimate conversation with author Patti Davis on caring for her father, former president Ronald Reagan, during the ten years he lived with Alzheimer’s Disease. MacArthur “Genius Grant” winner Ai-Jen Poo talks about the toll care for elders takes on the people we pay to do it - women and people of color - and what needs to change to keep them and our loved ones safe. And Jacquelyn Revere, a 34-year-old Black caregiver, explains how she gave up her job to care for her mom full-time, and how she’s helping other young caregivers with money, merchandise and lessons on TikTok and YouTube.
