How Scents, Odors and Smells Affect You ...

Mike Carruthers | OmniCast Media
About this episode

Wearing a face mask has become part of everyday life. What type of mask is the best to protect you and others? While the mask itself is important, there is something else about the mask that is critical for it to be effective. Listen as I explain what that is. https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22251362/mask-fit-coronavirus-best-cloth-n95

Have you ever wondered how your sense of smell really works? What makes some scents pleasant and others repulsive? Did you know a lot of the odors here are on earth come from outer space? These are a few of the fascinating things I explore with Harold McGee, author of the best-selling book called Nose Dive: A Field Guide to the World's Smells (https://amzn.to/39yhOgx). Listen and you will have renewed respect for your sense of smell.

What is the Internet, where did it come from and how did it get to be what it is today? That is what you will discover as you listen to my conversation with James Ball. He is Global Editor at The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a former special projects editor at The Guardian and author of the book, The Tangled Web We Weave: Inside The Shadow System That Shapes the Internet (https://amzn.to/3tsaaMP)

What’s the best cure for the hiccups? Not all cures work for everyone but listen as I explain some that are worth trying. I’ll also tell you the hiccup cure that works virtually every time. Source: Nancy Snyderman author of Medical Myths That Can Kill You (https://amzn.to/3cUAR7d)
