Anita, listening to your show is like having a meaningful conversation with a good friend. I grew up in the US, India, and Germany; my parents are from Hyderabad, like your dad, and while they’re both Indian, they’re from different religious backgrounds, so your conversations about navigating...Read full review »

I discovered Embodied by chance on the radio, and I’m so glad I did - truly one of the most thought provoking podcasts out there! Anita consistently facilitates unique and engaging conversations on the topics no one else is taking on. It’s such an empowering listen… highly recommend!

I just love this podcast so, so much. Anita, you’re great, would listen to anything you do. Even episodes that cover topics I don’t relate to directly are thoughtfully curated for a wide audience. I’ve listened to every single episode and can’t wait for more! Thank you!

Thanks to Anita Rao & crew for taking on these taboo topics that can have a huge impact on our lives, but are rarely discussed in the open. Really appreciate the inclusion of diverse perspectives and experiences; queer, racial, ethnic, ability, class, etc.

I’ve found so many of the topics relevant and interesting to my life, and I love the integration of psychology and culture. The fact that it’s based in NC makes it extra special.

I first heard embodied on WUNC, my local NPR station. I'm so glad this has become a regular show and podcast. It's not only about sex and relationships; it's more generally about our varying experiences with our bodies. They cover a lot of interesting topics and perspectives.Read full review »

Learn to speak without giving people seizures from the vocal fry. Your content is admirable. Your voice is the most egregious aspect of this endeavour. ps. I’m a woman so don’t assume misogyny. Vocal fry, whether from a male or female throat, is awful to hear.

Anita, you are a beautiful storyteller.
