Embodied Podcast Webby Awards Submission

WUNC

Published February 21, 2022 at 2:04 PM EST

Embodied is a weekly podcast in which host and creator Anita Rao is on a mission to figure out what happens when we bring taboo topics — from sexual pleasure to vasectomies to body hair — out into the light to examine them with journalistic curiosity.

This entry is a montage of three episodes from 2021: "Accepted: Why Feeling Neutral About Your Body Can Be A Good Thing"; "Disabled: Dating And Sex In The Body You Have"; and "Feminized: Aligning Your Inner And Outer Selves."
