In this episode Maike meets James Wannerton, a well-known synesthete from England. James has a very rare and fascinating form of synesthesia, called sound-to-taste synesthesia. This means he can not only hear sounds, but also taste them. Maike's voice for example tastes like victorian spongecake to him! We hear about how they each experience the world through their neurodivergency, about the very start of synesthesia research, autism and synesthesia organisations. James is President of the UK synesthesia association and Vice-President of the International association for Synesthetes, Artists and Scientists.
