Bodies of Knowledge is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. Today, I’m trying something new: an audio recording instead of a written post. This one’s on body agency, the sense we have that we can have an intention and empower ourselves (and our bodies) to achieve it.
Love the content but I find written blogs easier to digest versus auditory learning. My preference would be written forum versus auditory. It also makes it more accessible to share with other folks in writing.
Nicole, thanks for commenting. I can do that; I have an outline in written form. It'll take me a bit to put together, but you'll be able to find it here, either underneath the recording, or in a separate post.
The audio of your voice really helps me understand. I’ve tried with the written articles to listen via the robot voice, but it is so hard to follow, and 😉 disembodied.
Thanks Kate. I just realized (ADHD brain) why I've been wanting to record rather than print on a few of these: I'm including information that will be in my book, and the publisher (Penguin Random House) requires that I don't put any of that material in print elsewhere. So, it's going to have to be one (print, but not stuff from the book) or the other (audio, and potentially stuff from the book.)
Very late to the party on this but I appreciate the audio as I’m a mum of a toddler and finding time to sit and read is a challenge. It’s helpful to have a bullet point summary of the key points - I actually absorb things better when there’s a visual reference point but audio means I’m at least encountering the content! Thank you ❤️

I love the audio. Thank you
I *thought* you all were out there. :) Thanks!

Also, there are many ways to transcribe the audio - I use descript.

Ooh love that! A sneaky way to get a taste of the book. Delicious!
I love the audio format, being an auditory learner
Thank you for the input!
