About this episode
The Gist presents a literary appraisal of romance novelist Susan Meachen, whose greatest achievement in life wasn't even the successful leaving of it. Plus, we speak with James Vincent about his new book Beyond Measure: The Hidden History of Measurement from Cubits to Quantum Constants. Also the Biden administration sifts through airplane toilets—a useful public health initiative.
