Description

Amidst the annus horribilis that was 2020, New York-based writer John Oakes sought to exorcise some of his own inner noise and "automaticity" by doing a week-long liquid-only fast. He liked it so well that he and his wife, Carin Kuoni, began fasting twice a year. And he liked that so well that he wrote a book about it. In this episode of Constant Wonder he and Carin explain the how and why of these biannual fasts.

Guests:
John Oakes, author of "The Fast: The History, Science, Philosophy, and Promise of Doing Without"
Carin Kuoni, Senior Director/Chief Curator, Vera List Center for Art and Politics
