117. How to Shave

My guest is Douglas Smythe, who describes himself as a “Male Grooming & Shaving Guru.” He’s written, blogged, and podcasted about shaving—yes, that kind of shaving, of your face—and has a website where he sells all manner of shaving stuff. This is not using an electric razor: this is using one of those old-timey-style blade shavers and shaving soap (not lather or cream). He had lots of information and was a hoot to interview.

116. An Open and Personal Conversation about Dissociative Identity Disorder

My guest is Lyn Barrett, who is a writer as well as a facilitator of Writers’ Workshops and Memoir Classes for People with Dissociative Disorders. Her latest book is called Crazy: Reclaiming Life from the Shadow of Traumatic Memory.

Note: Lyn is grateful for the work of her *second* editor, Sarah Chauncey, who skillfully coached her through the writing of the book.
