How might understanding the experiences of disability help us be more curious about our own and others' minds and bodies?
And, most importantly, how might any of that help us be kinder and more patient with ourselves and each other?
I’m profoundly grateful to legal scholar and disability media-maker Qudsiya Naqui for proposing today’s topic.

Ep. #289: Getting to the Heart: Curiosity & Ghost Writing, with Laura Zigman
How does a ghost writer get to the juiciest heart of their subject?
Laura Zigman is the author of six novels and has ghostwritten and/or collaborated on multiple memoirs and non-fiction books. We have fun talking about writing with someone -- not about them -- and getting their voice right; the line between curiosity and nosiness; compassion, empathy, trust and asking questions with kindness; respecting boundaries; and the honor of hearing another's stories.
