The Hardest Love Transistor (https://transistor.fm) https://feeds.transistor.fm/the-hardest-love The Hardest Love is a raw, intimate space fueled by dementia devotion and unapologetic caregivers. Hosted by Michelle Dorsey, this audio-visual podcast brings together a rotating panel of remote, real-world dementia caregivers—both current and former—who refuse to sugarcoat the reality of their journeys. In every episode, panelists hear raw creative prompts for the very first time. Under the clock, they write, react, and read their unfiltered responses live on the air. This is not a clean, clinical checklist. It is a sanctuary for the messy, beautiful, exhausting, and heartbreaking truths of caregiving. Through shared words and deep vulnerability, we prove that while the love is heavy, you never have to carry it alone. New episodes drop every other week.
