About the author
Epilepsy Talk 
This is quite a bold move on CR’s part. We’re talking about a looong series of episodes on a subject that the average listener must find challenging. I really hope it does well, so others might pick up the same idea. The more people know, the more appropriately they’re going to react when they discover (as they WILL) that one of their family has epilepsy.

Now if we could just see Dr. Oz do it for more than 5 minutes and the mighty Oprah and perhaps NPR, that would be a good start.
(Charlie Rose did it for 13 or 14 MONTHS.)
Did you see the photo of Hugh Laurie holding a brain with the caption “Use it.” What a wonderful sponsor he’d be! (His band’s charity trust provides funding and resources to projects including the Pediatric Epilepsy Project.)

Did the Charlie Rose series ever do a show focused on epilepsy? I’ve seen them focus on other disorders, but not one for seizures, which is baffling, given how common it is.

The brain series talked about different parts of the brain, what they do and how they work, however there was no specific segment on epilepsy. =(
