Listen as I explain what that is. https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22251362/mask-fit-coronavirus-best-cloth-n95 Have you ever wondered how your sense of smell really works? What makes some scents pleasant and others repulsive? Did you know a lot of the odors here are on earth come from outer space? These are a few of the fascinating things I explore with Harold McGee, author of the best-selling book called Nose Dive: A Field Guide to the World's Smells (https://amzn.to/39yhOgx). Listen and you will have renewed respect for your sense of smell. What is the Internet, where did it come from and how did it get to be what it is today? That is what you will discover as you listen to my conversation with James Ball. He is Global Editor at The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, a former special projects editor at The Guardian and author of the book, The Tangled Web We Weave: Inside The Shadow System That Shapes the Internet (https://amzn.to/3tsaaMP) What’s the best cure for the hiccups?
