0:00.0	I'm Natalie Moore. I fell in love with soap operas when I was just five years old, and I still
0:06.1	watch them. Their television's longest scripted series and have zero reruns. Now let me tell you,
0:12.7	soap operas aren't just some silly art form. They are significant. In this season of making,
0:18.0	Stories Without End from WB EZ Chicago.
0:25.7	Join me as I share how the genre began, their social impact, and why these stories endure.
0:28.3	Listen wherever you get your podcast.
0:35.6	From WBEZ Chicago, this is Nerdat.
0:36.3	I'm Greta Johnson.
0:44.7	It is June, and I am talking to you from the floor of my bedroom closet, which means this is another edition of NERDET's introverts guide to the good life.
0:58.5	So we had a plan for today's episode, but then the already very intense situation here in the U.S. just got like way, way, way intenser. I don't know about you, but events across the country just have me completely rattled.

1:37.5	much as we possibly can. So today that means we're going to listen back to what we think is one of the most delightful
1:45.2	nerdette interviews of all time. But first, I don't know about you, but I could really use
1:51.6	a couple of quiet minutes. And some of you already heard this meditation from when we aired it
1:56.7	in our anxiety episode a couple weeks ago. But I thought it was really good and helpful then.
2:03.1	And I have a feeling you might need it now more than ever, too. So here is Emily Thornton.
2:09.9	She runs Breathe for Studios here in Chicago. And she's got a four-minute meditation for us. So
2:15.4	just find a quiet spot and try to give yourself some peace.
2:28.7	Finding yourself somewhere that you can be somewhat comfortable.
