Dear Friends & Listeners,
Today we write to share from the heart. Our longtime friend and collaborator Jason Candler has suffered a severe brain injury. Jason has worked with us a recordist, sound engineer, musician and producer for almost two decades. Some of you will know him as a sax player in the Hungry March Band, others as the incredibly deft hand (and ear) that built the podcast so many of you enjoy each week. He is generally known as real New York Cat, riding around on his bike with his horn on his back. He is also the partner of a wonderful woman named Lily and an 18 month old son, Jakob. Lily came to NYC just a few years ago from China and has swiftly learned way too much about our insane medical system.
Each day Jason embarks on his Olympian effort to regain the use of his left side. He is in a long healing process and is showing incredible strength and plasticity in the mind.
Some of you may have noticed a change in the podcast and a few reposts of old shows as we adjust to his absence. We really miss working with Jason but obviously what is critical now is his healing and recovery. We are reaching out for your support.
It may be sometime before he can work again. If you are able please make a donation to a support fund please do so. Any amount is appreciated.
