Andrew Leland, a writer, journalist, audio producer, and podcast host. His new book The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight is a thoughtful and deep exploration of blindness, looking at both the personal and the societal implications of what it means to be without vision. In the book, Andrew visits a blind convention in Florida, a training facility in Colorado which includes kitchen facilities and a wood shop, and studies the disability justice movements.
Andrew joins Heath to discuss his journey as an author, his relationship to assistive technologies like braille, how his blindness changed his views on media, and the role of intersectionality in any struggle for justice.
