Seeing Senses. Where there’s more than meets the eye.
“Recommend this podcast. Be the one who spotted it first. That puts you in the room with brilliant original thinkers”
Join Sarah and her pioneering cross-industry guests to discover the incredible things we can learn when we escape from our silos. Uncover the hidden role multi-sensory perception plays in emotion, meaning and memory. Starting at first sight to all the senses from sound, scent, touch and taste to humour and synaesthesia. From the colour of sound to shapes that taste sweet, each episode brings you into conversation with perfumers, scientists, writers, chefs, artists, designers who are multi-sensory pioneers across different disciplines.
Join Sarah to explore how what we see connects to what we sense and why this matters for how we communicate, create, and connect.
