Hi All!
Michelle and Emily were joined by artist, scholar, and all-around fascinating human Patricia Olynyk for what was supposed to be a conversation over a bottle of wine.
As it turns out, one bottle wasn't nearly enough.
In this episode of Bodies, Bones, and Bordeaux, they talk art. They talk science. They talk friendship. They talk about the strange little coincidences that make you wonder if there's something more going on in the universe than we're meant to understand.
Michelle shares updates on Girlfriend Medicine and the growing community that is taking shape around friendship and connection. Emily talks weddings, new beginnings, and the wisdom that comes with embracing life's next chapter.
Together with Patricia, they wander into conversations about medical humanities, body modification, forgotten women in history, museums filled with human remains, the ethics of scientific discovery, and why some stories deserve to be told long after the people themselves have been forgotten.
They talk about how history has shaped the way we see our bodies and each other. They talk about stigma, healing, archives, and the importance of asking uncomfortable questions.
They also talk about ghosts.
And witches.
And whether good summer panties might actually qualify as a public service.
The first bottle of the afternoon was a 2024 Brondelle Bordeaux Rosé—light, peachy, and apparently the perfect pairing for conversations about personhood, plague, ghosts, and whether spirits might still be hanging around old churches.
