Notes from The Listener:

Personal story from a journalist, Angelina, who has the neurodegenerative disease ALS. Before, she was a reporter for Vice, living in Brooklyn, and relishing her freedom. Now, she lives with her parents and relies on others for the care that keeps her safe. There's some adult content in this episode, as she discusses sex and drugs — cannabis in particular helps her to talk for long enough to record this. There's a beautiful, hallucinatory quality to this piece, as Angelina talks about her lucid dreams and fantasies of movement

Angelina was a journalist living in Brooklyn when she was diagnosed with ALS. She now lives with her parents. How do you stay true to yourself when you rely on others to keep you alive?
