Ep 66: The Gaslight Martini: Understanding Synesthesia Through the Lens of All Her Fault

Can you taste words? See music as colors? That’s synesthesia — and it’s more fascinating (and more common) than you might think. This week on Medical Media Mixer, we’re cracking open the mystery thriller miniseries All Her Fault on Peacock, starring Sarah Snook and Dakota Fanning, to explore the neuroscience behind synesthesia: a condition where the brain routes sensory information through multiple unrelated senses simultaneously. From what it feels like to live with synesthesia, to what science tells us about why it happens, we’re blending psychology, neurology, and some serious on-screen drama into one captivating episode. And of course, we’re pairing it all with our Gaslight Martini — because nothing goes better with a thriller than a cocktail that plays tricks on your senses. Cheers to a mind-bending week!
