Recently I intvw'd @TVGavin abt his new @cbcpodcasts LET'S NOT BE KIDDING, abt his mother's Alzheimer's. Listen to the podcast this Mother's Day Wknd: it's moving, funny, instructive – one of the most powerful things in ANY genre I'll take in this year. cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/1…
"It's so funny, which is so weird because it's a book about cancer" -Tegan (Thank you @teganandsara for reading my book THREE times, even though the ending never changes. I don't want to give it away..but it's in the title) cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-6…
I was drawn to this title (for obvious reasons). Check out @RachelMatlow's "Dead Mom Walking: A Memoir of Miracle Cures and Other Disasters."

I once produced an interview with Nora Ephron and told her that my mom still made her salad dressing (the only recipe she ever used). Nora replied, "It's not a bad legacy to have."
When she was in her 40s, @RachelMatlow’s mom Elaine got into alternative forms of healing. But after a cancer diagnosis, she refused a surgery that could’ve saved her, which Rachel had a hard time understanding. This week, they remember their mom. 🎧: bit.ly/3DiUuAU
ALT A young Rachel Matlow sits outside by a tree with their mom Elaine. Rachel is giving their mom bunny ears, and they are both smiling but looking away from the camera. To their left is a quote from Rachel in white text that reads, "She just really needed to be listened to. I think that's one thing that conventional medicine could get better at, is treating people's emotions as well as their body. That's what really appealed to her about all these healers – they really took into account her emotional world." The Death, Sex & Money logo is in the bottom right corner, below Rachel's face, in the same white text.
In the final weeks of @RachelMatlow’s mom’s life, Rachel began recording their conversations. And after she died, Rachel turned a version of their conversations into a @thirdcoastfest award-winning audio piece. Listen to an excerpt and more here: bit.ly/3DiUuAU
ALT A photo of Rachel and their mom Elaine smiling and sitting outside. Rachel has short brown hair, and is wearing glasses, a black jacket, and a collared shirt. Elaine is wearing a floppy straw hat, a gray cardigan, and a striped shirt with a pink collar. She's holding sunglasses and a book in her hands. The photo is overlaid with a quote from Rachel in white text highlighted black that reads, "I found it was the only thing that made me feel better, is to still hear her voice." The Death, Sex & Money logo is centered at the bottom of the photo in the same white text.
