Innovation Overground: VA Showcase—Cyborgs (241)

The only podcast brave enough to say with a straight face, “the gag of the electronic sphincter,” looks at how our government is using our veterans to make human-machine hybrids to help address the infirmities of the human condition. The Overground looks VA’ approaches that address urinary incomitance, neurodegenertive swallowing disorders and anyone confined to an iron lung.
