What do poll dancing, AI Chappots and diet culture all have in common.

These subjects have a home on Embodied, the award-winning podcast I host from North Carolina

Public Radio W-U-N-C.

My name is Anita Rao, and you can consider me your personal guide to taking on the taboo.

Join me to explore important questions about our bodies and our society, where nothing is off limits.

So go ahead, listen to Embodied every Friday wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, Hey everyone. Welcome to Talk Easy. Generally I would say this is a

podcast, a weekly podcast around conversations with people shaping our culture today, but today's a special bonus episode of sorts.

We generally don't put two episodes out in a week. In fact, I think this is the first time we've done that but there's a reason

for that and it's mainly because given the sort of dialogue being had in this

country right now both before and after the debate a couple

nights ago it seemed the only thing I can think about and what most of us can think

about and pretty much all my friends and people I

bump into can think about is this goddamn election and I feel uniquely

unqualified to really comment on it.

So that's why we called on our friend of the show W. Kamout Bell.

He's a comedian sociopl political commentator for CNN's United Shades of America.

He's also the co-host of Politically Reactive, a new show on Panoply.

He's also the co-host of Politically Reactive, the Denzel Washington Podcast, and Kamal Now.

For those who have been with us long enough, Kamal came on episode two of the show I believe back

when we launched in April.

And if you're interested in what you hear today, I would urge you to go back to hear a longer conversation which was also in person.
