Kadri’s OHL and Flames Journey
On today’s show, Ali and Macara start off by continuing the conversation about “Dreamer”, by Nazem Kadri. The discussion focuses on Kadri’s development as a hockey player, particularly his time in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Ali and Macara reflect on how Kadri’s physical and mental preparation, strongly supported by his father, contributed to his success. They also discuss Kadri’s current situation with the Calgary Flames and speculate on how his past experiences might influence his current mentality and approach to the game.
Exploring Helen Keller’s Hidden Abilities
Macara and Ali discuss their thoughts on the book “Radical Lives of Helen Keller,” focusing on the ending which suggests Keller may have attempted to hide certain aspects of her disabilities. They explore how Keller’s public image was cultivated, often at odds with her personal views and political opinions. The conversation also touches on the irony of Keller’s childhood home being a tourist destination that lacks accessibility for those with disabilities, reflecting the limited understanding of accommodations during that time period.
Book Discussion and Community Updates
Ali and Macara discuss their recent reading experiences, with Ali sharing his progress on “Building a Better Vocabulary” and his enjoyment of the book’s concepts and language history. They agree to feature “The Hunger Games” as their next book for discussion. The hosts express gratitude for new subscribers and remind listeners of various ways to connect with them.
