Everything Everywhere Daily - The Year 1850

The first half of the 19th century saw wars, revolutions, and rapid technical and social changes.
In fact, there was arguably more technical and social change in the world during those fifty years than there had been in the last thousand years….and it was only just the beginning.
Learn more about the world in the year 1850 on the 1,850th episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Ologies with Alie Ward - Literary Olfactology (THE POLITICS OF SMELL) with Ally Louks
Smell and culture. Scent descriptions in novels. Fragrances and class. Stink and stigmas. We cover it all. Scholar, author, and Literary Olfactologist Dr. Ally Louks burst into the zeitgeist in 2024 with her PhD thesis “Olfactory Ethics, The Politics Of Smell In Modern And Contemporary Prose” and we finally got to sit down and talk about the intersection of art and smell and culture. Breathe in the fouls, the fragrant, the peppermint, the tobacco, why motel rooms smell the way they do, the forgotten organ that could control your love life, spices at the root of xenophobia, perfume ads that cruised a movement, obscenity trials, explosions, following your first love and getting the last laugh.
