Andrew is a writer, audio producer, editor and teacher, who, in this episode, reflects on his love for writing and his lifelong journey with audio.

Andrew then shares the story of how he came to write his first book, The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight, and how that has led him to be featured as a guest in various podcasts.
