S12 E23 - Round Robin - History Had a Smell and it Wasn't Always Pretty

from Malice in the Mitten · host Tracy Preston

What did history actually smell like? In this episode of Round Robin, Tracy and the panel take a strange, funny, and surprisingly emotional trip through history using one forgotten sense: smell. From the ancient Olympics and the signing of the Declaration of Independence to Waterloo, Queen Victoria’s wedding, the Wright Brothers’ first flight, Woodstock, old malls, carnivals, and childhood memories, this conversation asks what was really in the air when history happened. Inspired by a History Facts article, this episode blends weird history, sensory memory, laughter, and a few smells we may never recover from. #RoundRobinPodcast #WeirdHistory #HistoryFacts #SensoryMemory #PodcastEpisode Hosted and produced by Tracy Preston, featuring Christine Mulligan, Nina Mulligan, Angela Hoefler and Todd Preston Original music created exclusively for Round Robin by Tracy Preston Original artwork by Todd Preston
