“If my life wasn't funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable." ~Carrie Fisher. Monstrorum Historia is Latin for Monstrous or Unnatural History, and this podcast reflects one woman's efforts towards piecing together her unclear history while she suffers from aphasia and memory loss. This is the audio branch of an ongoing research / brain re-hab project led by Wendy Behrend. Making audio recordings serves as rehab which attempts to address and attenuate Wendy's progressive aphasia and word finding problems. She is practicing communicating so that she will not lose her words. She is investigating her past so that she will regain a clearer picture of the shadow that's been left behind. She is laughing at her situation because screaming isn't fun in podcast format.
