I announce that Michelle Malmberg (my guest on the last podcast) is our new co-host on the Adventures in Brain Injury Podcast! And, for our first episode together, we take the opportunity to interview Tim Page, a professor in both the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California.

(You can also hear this episode on YouTube, iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, and almost every other podcast network!)

Tim suffered a subdural hematoma with herniation and, among other forms of healing, found healing through music as medication.

In this episode we talk about:

• Music as medication
• Different kinds of fatigue
• Types of Memory
• The power of writing and journaling
• Finding upsides of new circumstances
• Saying “no” to some things
• Paying our fortune forward
• Reaching out for understanding
• Near death experiences and coming back
• The memory of the body

It was an absolute honor to chat with Tim after such an unbelievable article that he wrote for Ampersand titled “Tim Page: Letter From the Other Side — Return from a Traumatic Brain Injury,” and we are excited to hear more from him in the future!
