On a long road trip over winter break,
I listened to all 10 episodes of this podcast called the Telepathy Tapes.
The show is
about a group of non speaking autistic kids who are able to communicate using a method sometimes known
as spelling
or facilitated communication.
Essentially, someone the facilitator,
helps guide the kids using a keyboard or an iPad to spell out messages.
That already is a kind of magic
because kids who have been unable to communicate can now share their thoughts.
But this podcast takes it to a whole new level of magic.
It's not just that they can communicate.
These kids can read minds.
I'll bring Houston up to them and just tell them,
hey, think of one little thing and he writes it out.
On the board so he's read your friends minds.
He has read my friends minds before.
I've seen it firsthand.
By the end of the series, the kids are not just reading minds,
they're communing with the dead,
