9. "The Night The Lights Went Out" With Drew Magary

Our brains and our minds are fragile, and they’re housed in our fragile little human bodies that just break unexpectedly. That’s where Drew Magary found himself: the owner of a broken skull and a badly damaged brain. But you’d really never know it — because on the outside, he looked mostly fine! In this episode, Nora talks with Drew about his memoir, The Night The Lights Went Out, and the insidiousness that is recovering from a traumatic brain injury. Wanna read the book?
