Listen "Ep 253 Five Year Anniversary: Prof Barry Smith & The Quick Six Smells"
Episode Synopsis
Jo celebrates the 5 year anniversary of the podcast in episode 253 and she welcomes back two familiar voices. Jo reflects back on five years of the Quick Six feature, by exploring the favourite smells guests have chosen. She does this with sensory scientist and philosopher Prof Barry Smith who is the Director of the Centre for the Study of the Senses at the University of London. Smells discussed include freshly cut grass, baked bread, coffee, the sea air, rose and petrichor. Jo is also joined by Dr Jamie Gallagher, who is a science communicator, public engagement trainer and chemist. In 'Periodically with Jamie' they explore stories from the Periodic Table, and this time look at TV shows that feature it on the walls such as Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Star Trek, but which get it right and which get it very wrong? Presented, produced & edited by Jo Durrant. Music licensed from Purple Planet. Jo's website: https://jodurrant.co.uk/
