On the Read. Talk. Grow. podcast, we talk about books — especially fiction, memoir and narrative nonfiction — that deal with important health topics. In each episode, host Dr. Denise Millstine invites an author and a medical expert into conversation on subjects like miscarriage, cancer, relationships, mental health and more. Books can transport us to a different time, place, or culture. Read. Talk. Grow. demonstrates that books can also give a new appreciation for health experiences.
