You may be wondering if there’s a typo in this week’s TPWKY book club selection - The Joy of Sweat? Are we supposed to find joy in this secretion? Shouldn’t it be The Inconvenience of Sweat? Some of you sauna-goers or hot yoga enthusiasts may already welcome sweat (at the right time and place, of course), but I’m guessing there are plenty of you out there that do everything you can to prevent perspiration and the odor that frequently accompanies it. In this bonus episode, <a href="http://saraheverts.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sarah Everts</a> (<a href="https://twitter.com/saraheverts?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@saraeverts</a>), author of <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/3175/9780393635676" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Joy of Sweat: The Strange Science of Perspiration</a> and <a href="https://carleton.ca/sjc/profile/everts-sarah/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Science Journalism Chair</a> at <a href="https://carleton.ca/sjc/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Carleton University’s School of Journalism</a>, joins us to discuss why we should reconsider our stance on sweat and instead recognize it for the superpower it is. Or at the very least, be grateful that we don’t do what vultures do to cool off. Our conversation covers topics as far-ranging as sweat forensics, the evolutionary significance of body odor, the shameful marketing of early antiperspirants, the wild world of sweat dating, and so much more. Whatever your current feelings towards perspiration, this episode will have you thinking more about sweaty secretions than you ever have before (and enjoying every second of it).See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
