9.7.14: The Case Against Football & Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease

Rafa Bahiense

Patriots fans across New England are gearing up for another season of big wins, hard losses, and epic hits. On today’s show, the author of a provocative new book makes the case for why not to watch football. Plus, an estimated 5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, with about 200,000 diagnosed under the age of 65. An intimate new documentary follows a family grappling with early onset Alzheimer's. And life after the nude celebrity photo-leak: the podcast TLDR examines security in the age of cloud-based storage.
