A Guide to the World's Sweaty Saddles (feat. Harold McGee)

Today on Olfactory Issues Dave, Nastassia & The Rest are joined by the one and only Harold McGee. Together they talk all about our sense of smell to celebrate the release of Harold's latest work, Nose Dive: A Field Guide to the World's Smells.

Important questions are asked and answered: Should White Pepper should exist? How to tell if you're a "nose?"  What happens if I feed my baby whiskey? Why do some cultures have more or less body odor? Are Spaghetti-o's a good hot tub snack? And much, much, more.
