The first CJD Talk podcast is hosted by Heather Larson, who lost her mother to fCJD on November 10, 2004 at the age of 56. This podcast tells some of Heather’s journey, speaks of her concern over the recent cutback on BSE testing by the USDA and also includes an interview she did on KPFT radio in Galveston. Heather was on the “Go Vegan Texas” show to talk about the dangers of mad cow disease in the U.S.
