Podcast Review: ā€œBlinkā€ — Jake Haendel’s Journey from Addiction and Locked-In Syndrome to Advocacy

I’m not really a true crime junkie, but every once in a while a podcast comes along that I just cannot stop listening to. That was the case with ā€œBlink,ā€ the 12-part series that tells the unbelievable but true story of Boston chef Jake Haendel. 

After heavy drug use, Jake developed a rare condition called toxic progressive leukoencephalopathy. Doctors gave him six months to live, and soon after, he slipped into what looked like a vegetative state. For the next nine to ten months, he was fully conscious but completely unable to move or speak — a terrifying ā€œlocked-inā€ reality where everyone around him thought he was brain-dead.
