Happy Birthday, Good Dr. Sacks | Radiolab Podcast

From the Radiolab podcast: Radiolab wishes Oliver Sacks a happy birthday.
First aired back in 2013, we originally released this episode to celebrate the 80th birthday of one of our favorite human beings, the late Oliver Sacks. To celebrate, his good friend and our former co-host Robert Krulwich, asked the good doctor to look back, and explain how thousands of worms and a motorbike accident led to a brilliant writing career.

Dr. Sacks was one of my all-time favorite human beings too! Loved hearing him on Radio Lab, as well as Robert and Jad.

Bullshit, the stuff he said was vague. He held a lot of information back. I only got 30 percent through the video before knowing hes lying.
