Hello dear listeners and a very happy spooky season to all of you!
This week, I bring you my customary interview for the end of season 10. I'm joined by Nathan R. Stenberg of the Pennhurst Memorial and Preservation Society for an in depth conversation about the past and current views on disability in the US and the work currently being done to change laws that inhibit disabled people. We also talk about the history of Pennhurst Asylum, what it may have been like for residents, and what's happening with the property at present. I had a blast chatting with Nathan and hearing about everything Pennhurst.
If you're interested in advocating for individuals with disabilities or you just want to learn more about Pennhurst and its dark past, this is a great listen!

3 RecommendationsHello dear listeners and welcome back to a new episode! This time around I wanted to share something kind of special considering my brush with death. Please enjoy this original folklore tale created by yours truly.
Also, please note that this is episode 5. The next episode will feature an interview, as is custom. At that point, I'll see where I am in terms of recovery, but I may take a break from podcasting until the beginning of next year in order to focus on getting the winter issue of my literary journal completed. I'll update in the next few weeks. Cheers!
