It’s strange enough hearing yourself talking on the radio. It’s stranger still to see a transcript someone makes of you talking on the radio. Recently I was interviewed about Soul Made Flesh on Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s show “All in the Mind.” Instead of an audio archive, ABC has posted a transcript of the show. While I can’t claim I spoke in perfect paragraphs, we had an interesting talk about how the brain became the center of our existence.
