Bone Tired is a podcast about being a caregiver during the COVID pandemic, and what happens after the job is finished. The podcast chronicles the journey of caring for my father-in-law in the last months of his life, how our relationship changed and deepened, and how I managed after his death.
“A remarkable debut podcast in this touching reflection on caring for her elderly father-in-law. Beautifully written: assured and authentic.” Professor Siobhan A. McHugh, University of Wollongong, Australia, and founding Editor of RadioDoc Review.
This poignant, moving, and sometimes humorous slice of life is written, produced, and presented by Elizabeth Versace. The executive producer is Franchesca Werden. Our music is composed by Joseph Carrillo. You can find us at bonetiredpodcast.com and bonetiredpodcast.co.uk .
