Then, author/teacher/essayist Ryan Knighton joins Nate to talk about getting in touch with the folks at This American Life and Ira Glass, the biggest issues when working on “C’mon Papa: Dispatches from a Dad in the Dark,” and his approach to writing when he started to go blind. Finally, the fantastic Joey McIntyre closes the show by reading an excerpt from “All Souls: A Family Story from Southie” by Michael Patrick MacDonald in honor of St. Patrick’s Day.
