Best-selling author and radio host Kurt Anderson is out with a blockbuster book, “Fantasyland, How America Went Haywire, a 500 year history.” You may have seen him on the cover of The Atlantic Magazine and all over cable news this month. But you may not know he lives with type 1 diabetes.

Stacey and Kurt talk about Fantasyland, as well as his other books like the fictional True Believers, where the main character has type 1.
