In this episode, Ian, Gracy, and Christine talk with Marcia Smilack, a writer-turned-photographer, about the sound of red, her writing career, and how she discovered reflectionism.
On this week’s episode, we discuss with Greta Berman which famous artists may or may not have had synesthesia, her friendship with Carol Steen, curating a synesthetic art exhibit, and the Kluverian forms, among other things.
In this week’s episode, Gracy, Christine, and Ian talk with Sean Day. He shares about the time he and a colleague got funny looks at a restaurant (you'll see), and how frat boys are always the first to be killed in slasher movies. Oh, and they talk about Synesthesia, too.
Carol Steen discovered her synesthesia when a friend mocked her as a child for something she thought was normal. If you're on the fence about whether synesthesia stories can have a bearing on your life, this is the episode to listen to. Carol's story is riveting from start to finish and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
In this episode, Grace and Christine introduce Ian to acclaimed neuroscientist, RIchard Cytowic, who slaps Ian down with some knowledge. "It doesn't matter if you think Synesthesia is real. It's real regardless of what you think."
Ian breaks down our team's goals for SynPod: We want this show to be an encouragement and inspiration to both synesthetes and non-synesthetes alike. Is it perfect? Heck no, but that's not our goal. Our hope is that this podcast makes the world a little brighter for anybody who sometimes feels alone in the world.
Our hunch is that applies to everybody.
What if sight, sound, taste, smell, and other senses were mysteriously linked? What if blue tasted like strawberry. Or if a baby’s laugh looked like a spiral of purple and green? Turns out, for some people they do.
It's a condition called Synesthesia. Curious? We were too! So we made a podcast about it.
