Body Electric, from NPR and host Manoush Zomorodi, is an interactive investigative series examining how digital technology and screen-heavy lifestyles are reshaping human physiology—from posture and breathing to attention and sense of direction. Blending original research (including a collaboration with Columbia physiologist Keith Diaz), practical experiments, and listener participation, the show combines rigorous science journalism with an approachable, conversational tone. Episodes often feature short "walk & talk" segments, expert interviews, and actionable tips, such as breathing techniques or navigation exercises, encouraging listeners to actively test changes in their own lives. Bonus crossover episodes with NPR's Life Kit reinforce its focus on practical wellness in the digital age. The podcast appeals to health-conscious, tech-aware listeners interested in the intersection of modern technology, behavioral science, and physical well-being, and it has expanded into a companion book that deepens its exploration of how our bodies are adapting to constant connectivity.
