A fantastic journey into the intricate, tangled world of human multi-sensory experience. In this Omnibus edition, hear the first five episodes of the brand new series.

For thousands of years people thought we had 5 senses, now it's believed we have up to 33. Philosopher Barry Smith explores how they work, with help from scientists, neurologists, and sound artist Nick Ryan.

We introduce the unfamiliar sense of 'interoception' - could it be responsible ghosts, ghouls and those rising hairs on the back of our necks? We delve into the brain, and find out the ingenious ways it is creating, rather than simply interpreting, our sensory world. We pull up a chair at one of the most multisensory experiences it is possible to have - one that we do every day in fact - lunchtime. Not forgetting to draw a deep, deep, healing breath, while finding out how olfaction, or the sense of smell, can have startling effects on our emotions and memories.

Produced by Emily Knight, Melvin Rickarby, and Becca Bryers.
