This week we’re joined by Dr Clare Jonas, who’s going to be taking to us about synaesthesia! Something which Áine never manages to spell right first time… but what is it? And why does it exist? Join us as we try and answer those questions over a glass of Tarquins gin.  Cheers! Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/gin-and-topic">http://supporter.acast.com/gin-and-topic</a>. <hr> Hosted on Acast.

Tarquins & Synaesthesia

Our ever-curious step-mother and step-daughter, Sarah and Áine, begin each episode with a glass of gin in hand, before launching into the topic of the week. Once the gin has been thoroughly sampled, and reviewed, they discuss what they already know about the weekly topic. It could be anything, from science to art, from political to cultural. Most importantly, they often don’t know a lot. Luckily, there is a weekly expert who shares their knowledge… and the gin. The guest may be plagued with ‘Okay, but why?’s, and ‘So, how?’s, but they get to drink through it! And, if this expert can tell our hosts that everything they thought they knew is wrong, even better. There’s no confrontation, just a genuine wish to learn and understand, and at the end of the show, the hosts spend a little time mulling over what they’ve learnt, and wondering how they can slip it into conversations to look smart.Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/gin-and-topic">http://supporter.acast.com/gin-and-topic</a>. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
