Joining us on our #podcast is author and backpacking guide @BanningLyon to discuss his book ‘The Chair and the Valley’ which recounts his hospitalization and maltreatment as a teen, and the lessons learned as a guide in Yosemite.

The NYT and WaPo declined to review my book, despite the fact that these heartbreaking cases of imprisonment and insurance fraud continue to take place. When are people going to listen?

@jbsgreenberg @katie_thomas Thank you for your incredible article. I was held in one of thee institutions years ago, which eventually led to one of the largest health insurance fraud cases in US history. My memoir, The Chair and the Valley, tells the story.

Omg my @NYMag essay about outsourcing my #orgasm for @TheCut is currently trending as the #2 most popular story on their site after the one about #ArianaGrande which in an ironic twist of events is also about weight. Mic drop. I need to lie down.
