Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
My name is Julie Douglas, and I'm the host of
the Stuff of Life, a podcast produced by How Stuff
Works with a little help from a few experts along
with our friends here at How Stuff Works, The Stuff
of Life picks apart the stories we tell to explain
our existence on planet Earth, and nothing is too beautiful
to happen in life. On the Stuff of Life, we

take on the biggias everything from fear. Fear has this
double power over us. It has the power to to
you know, of course it frightened us, to make us coward,
to change our behavior, but also the power to make
us ask all these questions about ourselves and the question
who we are and the way we react to scary stuff.

and you're in the movie theater screaming at her unlocked, unlocked,
the door unlocked, the door to the really big questions

(01:07):
will be laughter. Join us on January for the very
