About this episode
Marisa Meltzer joins us to talk about all things perfume and scents and candles and incense. Everything about this conversation was a joy for me, because Marisa is wonderful and she taught me about a laundry detergent I ran out to buy ASAP (and by ran out I obviously mean I clicked around and purchased).

Marisa’s new book, This Is Big, came out last week and you are going to love it. Imagine Julie and Julia but about Weight Watchers. I devoured it. Order it from your local indie or my favorite one: Amherst Books (https://www.amherstbooks.com/). (Tell Shannon I sent you!)
