This episode, Teia and Cher explore the frontiers of the sense-scape by looking at psychological studies on synaesthesia, ‘sixth’ senses on our earthly kingdom, but also powerful fatidical, clairvoyant women in global history and culture.

Only coming up with this theme in the middle of the season, Teia realised that she would have had to tackle both sight and sound in this episode (she miscalculated). So, she took the opportunity to go off-the-rails as a conclusion to her mini-series - and in the end was left with more questions than answers! However, that is, after all, always the ideal.

Teia’s word of the day: Adenoidal, /ˌæd.ənˈɔɪ.dəl/.

Adj: relating to or seeming to come from the adenoids (the flesh between the back of the nose and the throat). [Cambridge Dictionary]
