Episode Description from the Publisher

Why does your nose turn into an ice cube while your heart stays toasty? In this cozy, curious episode, Roxie Robinson digs into the science of chill — from shivers and goosebumps to the brain’s secret thermostat that decides which body parts get to stay warm. With her signature humor and a few “uh, you know” moments, she unpacks how our bodies juggle comfort and survival, why some people love the cold, and what really happens when we cross into frostbite territory.Between stories of bad winter dates, ancient survival tricks, and a few cups of tea, Roxie reminds us that cold isn’t just discomfort — it’s proof of how brilliantly alive we are. So grab your blanket, press play, and stay curious.
