Chuck, chuck, chuck, rolling on my end.
Okay. All right. Here's the intro. Welcome to Search Engine. I'm PJ Vogt. No question too big. No question too small. This week, a question about bodies. The only body I've ever been trapped inside of is my own. There's a lot of places this show goes. Taboos, uncomfortable thoughts we like to explore. Bodies and their weight? Not a place we have visited. which is not for lack of thinking about it.
It's funny, if you made a chart of the things I talk about versus the things I think about, I think about my own body, its weight, the ways it is aging, so much more than I ever talk about it.
And I wonder often about other people, not what it's like to live in their bodies, not what it would be like to be bigger or smaller, but more, what is the conversation their mind is having with and about their body? Is it as loud as mine? This persistent? This strange? This week, we're visiting other minds and other bodies.
