Cadence Podcast: What Music Tells us About the Mind show

Summary: This season, we're going to focus on music as medicine—telling the stories of people whose lives have been immeasurably improved with music. In this episode, we talk about William's Syndrome, a genetic condition that causes heart problems, intellectual disabilities and a profound love of music. We hear from 31-year-old Benjamin Monkaba, who has the condition, his mother Terry, and Jennifer Latson, author of The Boy Who Loved Too Much, a book about William's Syndrome.
