I’m Irene, and I’ve always noticed smells before other people. Whether that’s you, or you’re the complete opposite, this podcast is for you. The more I learned about our powerful sense of smell — through cooking in restaurants, teaching cooking classes, and researching— the more I realized it’s the sense we know the least about. Over the years I’ve made friends with scientists, perfumers, herbalists, chefs, artists, and tech developers who all work with smell. This is where you can get a whiff of their discoveries and get advice for honing into your own sense of smell. Ask questions by dropping a comment @smellyeahpodcast on IG. While we may feel disconnected from our sense of smell because we don’t have the words to describe it, we all have a relationship to it, even if you’re not able to smell, which has come to our attention even more because of Covid. Smells transport us to the past and ground us in the present. They’re invisible, public yet private, and connected to our emotions like nothing else. Let’s build the conversation!
