Episode 260: Two Scientists.
Play Now!Welcome to Episode 260: Two Scientists.In this episode, I recalled from memory the story of Luca Turin's theory, all from a book called The Emperor of Scent: a True Story of Perfume and Obsession. I do hope I got most of that correct. I read from: my computer's quickie dictionary; a New York Times magazine article called "The Woman Who Could Smell Parkinson's"; and John M. Barry's book, The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History.I briefly play: the robot from the 1960s television show Lost In Space. Musically, KMFDM backs Henry Giroux in the opening; and I close today with Mistle Thrush.

Get well soon Jim, you sound (like you're feeling) terrible in the last bits.
ReplyDeleteI do? Huh.
ReplyDeleteI've started napping just before recording, just to loosen my vocal cords and not sound like a yapping chihuahua. I also cut the caffeinated bubbly beverages. I guess between the two, I have yet to wake up enough to sound human.
Thanks for your concern, Pim!
