We could not have made this episode without the AMAZING book, "The Radical Lives of Helen Keller" by Kim Neilson. It's based on years of primary source research but condensed into a slim and readable romp. To go deeper on Helen Keller, go here: https://t.co/krbyV5AyxE

Oh holy holy wow. This book is good. Opened it up on a plane ride and sucked down 50 pages. Can’t wait to see where it goes. @AlexisSchaitkin takes us into the mountains, the moss, where clouds come thru the windows and a strange affliction steals mothers. Shirley Jackson vibes.

First up, our lead reporter Elsa Sjunneson @snarkbat just published a new book, Being Seen. It's part memoir, part examination of representations of disability in media. It's SO illuminating. It's also hilarious at times. And suckerpunchy vulnerable too. https://t.co/WoY3UXADRh
