Best Of: A Pediatric Neurosurgeon's Stories From The O.R. / Island Records Founder

Listen in app
Dr. Jay Wellons regularly feels the exhilaration of saving a child from near certain death — and sometimes the anguish of failing to prevent it. He shares stories from the operating room, and talks about how the overturning of Roe v. Wade will impact pregnant women whose fetuses have neurological defects. His new memoir is All That Moves Us.

Also, film critic Justin Chang reviews the science fiction movie Apples, set during a pandemic of sudden memory loss.

Finally, Island Records founder Chris Blackwell grew up in Jamaica, and helped launch the careers of reggae stars like Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff, as well as rock bands like U2. His memoir is The Islander.
