PODCAST #59: Leslie Jamison

Colin talks with Leslie Jamison, author of the novel The Gin Closet and the new essay collection The Empathy Exams, which features pieces on her experiences acting out disease symptoms for medical students to diagnose, watching the Paradise Lost documentaries, assembling a "grand unified theory of female pain," and getting mugged in Nicaragua.
