You're listening to Life Kit from NPR.

Hey everybody, it's Mary L.

I think if my dread could talk, she would sound kind of high-pitched. Like it would be just like a

a buzzy little bee, you know, next to my ear. Oh, I love that. I love that. It's so distinct because in my

head my dread is actually if I do a voice it's like, hey Salim, you're probably going to mess this up.

I'm talking to Salim Rushamwala, and we're not just acting out our dread for fun,

although it is kind of fun.

Yeah, and mine would be like, you know, you're probably going to mess this all up.

I'm like going.

It's a very cartoony pairing, yeah.

Salim is the host of More than a Feeling, a podcast that dives deep into emotions,

and he's doing a whole series about the feeling of dread.

So in this episode of Life Kit, I talked to Salim about how we can all dread better. Support for this podcast and the following message come from Wise, the app that makes
