Body Language

Short Cuts

About this episode

Josie Long presents stories about wordless communication.

Reading Russian literature - without a book - in solitary confinement and speaking with someone else's voice and the need to be embraced.

From the melody of your speech to the brush of skin on skin, Josie explores body language. We hear about secret codes sent through walls, a sudden bodily change which left a woman feeling like a stranger to herself and the importance of touch.

Series Producer: Eleanor McDowall

A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2016.
