Rarely Discussed Podcast

Welcome to Rarely Discussed, an American Porphyria Foundation Podcast.

Join your hosts Andrew McManamon and Nicole Castellano. We both have Porphyria, which is a rare disease. As scientifically different as rare diseases can be, we share many similarities on how it affects our lives. We want to open the discussion and give the porphyria and rare disease community a safe place to connect, learn and heal. Being rare can feel lonely and isolating, but together, we are stronger. Let’s take a journey together as we share our personal stories and have meaningful interviews with porphyria and rare disease experts and the patients and families impacted. We’ll talk diagnosis, treatment, misdiagnosis, managing daily life tips, ways to cope physically, mentally and emotionally and everything rare.
