A Library Journal Best Book of 2015

Go behind the scenes of seven of today's most popular narrative radio shows and podcasts, including This American Life and RadioLab, in graphic narrative.

Every week, millions of devoted fans tune in to or download This American Life, The Moth, Radiolab, Planet Money, Snap Judgment, Serial, Invisibilia and other narrative radio shows. Using personal stories to breathe life into complex ideas and issues, these beloved programs help us to understand ourselves and our world a little bit better. Each has a distinct style, but every one delivers stories that are brilliantly told and produced. Out on the Wire offers an unexpected window into this new kind of storytelling--one that literally illustrates the making of a purely auditory medium.

With the help of This American Life's Ira Glass, Jessica Abel, a cartoonist and devotee of narrative radio, uncovers just how radio producers construct narrative, spilling some juicy insider details. Jad Abumrad of RadioLab talks about chasing moments of awe with scientists, while Planet Money's Robert Smith lets us in on his slightly goofy strategy for putting interviewees at ease. And Abel reveals how mad--really mad--Ira Glass becomes when he receives edits from his colleagues. Informative and engaging, Out on the Wire demonstrates that narrative radio and podcasts are creating some of the most exciting and innovative storytelling available today.

Baking soda never works out well
Flavor Name: 1. Sensitive Mint, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I don't know why I decided to chance it but it didn't take long for my teeth to start aching. I realized baking soda might be the cause of my toothache issues when I switched between a few and realized the baking soda ones were accompanied by aching. I think I went with this because it claims to be for sensitivity and I thought the nhap would help whatever the baking soda affected but not the case. If you have tooth ache, consider it might actually be the toothpaste and don't just go looking for "sensitive" labels. This might work in combination with other toothpaste. I.e. not multiple times a day but once a day and a different one for other brushing. I've noticed not being as able to tell when it's been a while since I brushed. This was the main change so it might be effective at cleaning. The tube is metal and hard to press but the paste consistency is less firm than others so it works out. It didn't take much to get the paste out. It gives a light foam. The taste is not sweet. It's tolerable but borders on bad.

Eileen is a genius and has figured out how our electrical bodies store all our memories and precede any physical ailment. This fascinating and a must read for anyone that wants to understand how your body actually work. Often we find ourselves in the same pattern because they are literally IN our electrical field and we cant move on until we are given a new pattern.

So excited to read this book!!
Format: Paperback
Love Eileen McKusick and her work. I’m deep diving into her books and wealth of knowledge. I finished her first book Tuning the Biofield and can’t wait to start this one. If you haven’t heard of her then I highly recommend listening and going to her YouTube channel. I bought her tuning forks and I’m a huge believer in frequency healing. Learning all I can for my family and as a caregiver in career. This book will give me a deeper understanding of the electric body and I’m ready for it!!

Brilliant unique perspective. Life changing.
Format: Kindle
This is hands down my most recommended book for anyone interested in emotional health. The straightforward, yet scientific writing is extremely well edited, and easy to follow. The philosophy is brilliant. Taking your time working through it, and creating audio meditations for each chapter to get more out of it is critical through the process. I discovered this book on a deep rabbit hole and am so happy that this information is out there. Thank you Eileen! I look forward to learning more! My deepest gratitude for what you have created with this whole system! The book recommendations in Electric Body, Electric Health are also brilliant. William David The Harmonics of Sound for example is another one that demands some meditation to absorb.
