Summary

This week I get my “cold plunge curious” partner Charlie Warzel to come on the pod and talk about how cold plunging suddenly feels like it’s everywhere, the science (some interesting, some junk) behind it, whether it’s been “bro-ified,” who’s buying those $6000 cold plunge tubs… and how to actually start doing it, if that’s your thing.

If you like the show, it is SO INCREDIBLY HELPFUL for our fledging pod if you can share it with others. Send it to your nerdy friend or coworker who’d love it. Post it on Instagram. Follow or subscribe to the pod on your podcast app, and/or write us a quick review on iTunes.

Also: we’ve made enough through subscriptions to pay Melody through early March, but without more…..we can’t keep making the show. So if you like the pod, if you want it to continue, consider subscribing today. (And if you’re already a Culture Study newsletter subscriber, you get a screaming deal).

Got a question or idea for a future episode? Let us know here. This week, we’re looking for your questions for future episodes about: Moms for Liberty; your thoughts and feelings on sitting; the cultural force that is ACOTAR; whatever Bradley Cooper's whole deal is.

You can submit them (and ideas for future eps) here.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, this is Anne. We're having such a great time making this podcast and we want to keep making it.
0:07.7	Right now, we have enough subscriptions to pay Melody through early March. Listener support is our
0:13.4	primary way of funding this project. And we may get around to experimenting with ads, but for now,
0:18.6	we depend on you. If you're able to pitch in five bucks a month,
0:22.3	it goes a really long way in making this show sustainable. Remember that if you're already a paid
0:27.1	subscriber to the Culture Study newsletter, you get a discount on the podcast subscription. If you can't
0:32.6	figure out how to make that work, just email me, get in touch. And if there's someone you know
0:36.7	who'd like a subscription but can't swing it in their budget,
0:39.4	you can also gift them one.
0:41.1	Head to culturestudypod.substack.com to see how you can support the show.
0:46.2	Thank you so much.
0:49.0	Okay, I'm starting recording.
0:50.5	Do you have the towels?
0:51.4	I have the towels, yeah.
0:52.8	Okay.
0:53.9	I should set the scene that it's about 40 degrees and raining. No, it's like 50. No, it's colder now.
1:01.0	It's not 50 on my thing. 45. Okay. It's raining. We're coming down the beach. We're meeting our
1:08.2	friends. Beth and Joe.
1:11.6	Yeah. Yeah.
1:12.6	I speak the language clean when I'm saying.
1:15.6	No, not at all.
1:16.6	I'm excited.
