Scents & Sensibility ft. Roisin Kiberd

We're joined by friend of the show Roisin Kiberd, to talk about Fragrantica, the online perfume community where there is hardly any politics, endless threads on perfumes, and regular questions along the lines of what  perfume  you should wear to go to a funeral. Roisin talks to us about an article she wrote on Fragrantica, and the need for a re-siloed Internet, filled with nice distractions during times of crisis.

PALESTINE AID LINKS

As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians. You can donate using the links below.

https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donate

https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/gaza-israel-conflict

Currently, Aid is not getting through. You can donate with the knowledge that these funds will be used the instant Aid is allowed into Gaza, but please do make your voice heard in other ways about this. Showing up at protest marches and writing letters to elected MPs are useful acts of solidarity. Please encourage your elected representatives to support calls for a ceasefire, while still bearing in mind a ceasefire is at best a temporary reprieve and represents the bare minimum
