In the fifty-eighth episode of the Better Eyesight Podcast, Esther Joy van der Werf, Nathan Oxenfeld, and Ruth Andreu read through the fifty-eighth Better Eyesight magazine that was originally published in April 1924 by Dr. William H. Bates, the pioneer of natural vision improvement.

Exactly 100 years later, these three natural vision educators breathe life back into the words of Dr. Bates, and also provide some modern commentary on the topics brought up in each article.
