Kendall and Jamie discuss Anna Altman's essay in The New Republic, "The Consolations of the Illness Memoir," what exactly the genre is for anymore, and what makes an illness book and illness book. They also talk about their own adventures in writing and talking about illness, which they'll surely write and talk about at some point.&nbsp;

A Quite Possibly Wonderful Summer feat. James Hamblin

That That Don't Kill Me is a series of non-inspirational, honest and casual conversations about chronic illness, disability, and mental health between two uncourageous young adults who were born #sick. Co-hosts Kendall Ciesemier and Jameson Rich mine their trauma to cover everything from dating when you can't drink or hooking up when you have scars, to disclosing illness to co-workers, what it's like to grow up in a hospital, and the day-to-day minutiae of navigating the healthcare system. They talk with writers, politicians, comedians, actors, activists, and athletes about their experiences dealing with illness and disability.
