What Is Your Body Telling People? | Otherwords

You can choose your words as carefully as you want, but your body may be sending other messages you're not even aware of! Otherwords is a PBS web series on Storied that digs deep into this quintessential human trait of language and finds the fascinating, thought-provoking, and funny stories behind the words and sounds we take for granted.
