Fascinating Stories, but mot great Presentation

Oliver Sacks is experiences are always very fascinating! This presentation was harder to listen to because of the format of an interview with an audience. Hard to exactly say why I wouldn't listen to it again. The book he wrote - Musicophilia would be a better listen for sure. But this is short and probably worth the listen because of who it is and his experiences, or should I say his patients' experiences
