02 TASTING SOUNDS with James Wannerton

In this episode Maike meets James Wannerton, a well-known synaesthete from England. James has a very rare and fascinating form of synaesthesia, called sound-to-taste synaesthesia. This means he can not only hear sounds, but also taste them. Maike's voice for example tastes like victorian spongecake to him! We hear about how they each experience the world through their neurodivergence, about the very start of synaesthesia research, autism and synaesthesia organisations. James is President of the UK synaesthesia association and Vice-President of the International association for Synaesthetes, Artists and Scientists.
