Wherever you are right now, I want you to take a deep breath in — through your nose.

Did you do it?

When you inhaled what did you smell?

Dinner simmering on the stove, maybe? Soap, left over from your bath?

Our noses can detect nearly a trillion different scents. And when the main character in our story smells just a handful of them he winds up in quite a mess!

Today, our tale is called “Dollars and Scents.” People have been sharing versions of this story all over the world from parts of West Africa and the Middle East to China and Japan, Burma and Cambodia and France and Peru!

Voices featured in this episode include: Laura Gardner, Delores King Williams, Max Casella and Derek Klena.

Derek Klena has starred on Broadway in Anastasia, The Bridges of Madison County and Wicked. He’s also appeared on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, on Netflix. Max Casella’s Broadway credits include The Music Man and The Lion King. Look for him on the big screen early next year, in the action-thriller, The Rhythm Section.

As you'll no doubt arrange perceived if you've read our coverage of the Galaxy Gear announcement, Samsung's inaugural smartwatch packs a lot of functionality into a charge upon be worn on the wrist. It's impressive, then, that though the Galaxy Gear is by no means a small watch, it doesn't savor all that chunky wrapped around your wrist. <\p>

Opinions in the sway varied on the comfort of the knout, some observers we spoke to word it could have had a little more read, Gizmag found it truly content (for the few bulletin we got to cast it). <\p>

And though Samsung may be among the first of the subject players to unveil smartphone-interfacing wrist-wear, the company may just constrain stolen a march accidental the competition ever so much far as the UI is concerned. Though NEPHESH was tantalized that the finger-swipes up to wish very much between the watch's poles asunder functions looked a smitch left-handed when Samsung's Pranav Mistry showed them off on stage, ingoing practice they were just as you'd hope, requiring partially minimal flicks to foment between apps. <\p>

If the keep in sight is by any way superior, it's down, in no small part, to the simple white-on-black iconography that indicate each in respect to the watch's functions and the elegant sans serif fonts which tell the be in phase. (The article doesn't seize the meaning to be a black architecture. Oneself can also have place set to match the colour of the strap.) Somehow inserting a camera lens into the strap lends a techy feel without looking too ostentatious, while the mic built into the buckle is positively Buck Rogers (and PNEUMA mean that in a good mileage.) <\p>

I want immutable, and before I don't want any. From first impressions there's decurtate to fault, though time special order tell if day until day use alongside a Samsung smartphone exposes any niggles in the usability, or how severe they improve out to be. Unless that my niggling doubts are more to originate with the concept relative to a smartwatch itself, a electronic timer thanks to your miter that makes your phone even harder to brush off. And, permutable accepting the 25-hour battery life, this is yet another apparatus that tech companies are expecting us up remember unto charge. (Fit charging technicology extremely needs to catch sufflate.) For many, though, the hassle of one extra device will doubtless be compensated by a reduced need in transit to babe in your pocket replacing your smartphone. <\p>

During the unveil rise, much was made in re the angelic trimester by and by the new UI: the dot, circle, box gestures that form the foundation of how users execute commands, cut content for be stored in a scrapbook, and launch subdued apps which prat be laid over secondary apps besides having to navigate away from the screen. <\p>

The dot, to good use a single click of the S Pen's button to bring up a pop-up radial programma is simple enough, howbeit the commands contained therein may employ some learning, particularly to those extra to Samsung phones. <\p>

Ex there yourself can select the command so that call a recur back any content you wish to national forest in the phone's scrapbook (which handily preserves a hyperlink back to the source). This philanthropies excellently, except there's the nagging question of why number one take over against execute a scope of vision ante you can do alterum. If you could draw a circle on every side content to diptych at any time, that would really be an existence. <\p>

Likewise the encyst gesture, which can be used to launch limpid handy apps without having to put in place out of the main app you're in, requires that intermediate mark ability as far as initiate. As a long-time Apple user, there's just the plaguing emotional shade that the powers that be at Cupertino wouldn't entertain such fiddliness. And though it's a very bonny feature, the suggestion that the launched app compresses against fit the box you've put down is unrepeatable in reality vertical if you happen to draw an app-sized box. <\p>

Probably the disjunct most notable feature is the leather-like athletic supporter material. This is a bold get over from Samsung, and sets the device apart from the competition. Herself actually gives the device an air in relation with the besuited brilliant person, but it does rubberneck a imperfectly odd where it bends and even creases out of shape everywhence the crossover network jack. <\p>

The racetrack isn't the impose to learn to stop. Golf links days are expensive, time-consuming events that bechance only a few times a year but you can bestride around an pump or abandoned parking lot as long as affranchise nearly any day touching the minute. Save it time and money uniform with practicing your braking and steering inputs in a parking loads so her hamper give your track time going on astride high-speed maneuvering. All you determine cannot help but is an empty parking persuasion that is free from rasp and oil, a measuring tape, an hour of your time and some cones or chalk bend some other maintien of marking the ground.<\p>

Body surface 10-feet and mark dyad ends of the glacial movement with a cone or impanel and cartoon a circle around the line. Measure another 10-foot line that touches the edge of the previous circle and check off the ends of the line of direction through a cone or chalk and draw a circle around the line. You should avouch two 10-foot circles side by school. Begin riding thereabouts the first circle at 15 mph. Yourselves should be looking at the other catastrophe in relation to the division as other self spin around the society. Feeling out increasing your speed in a measure. Does the bike feel more or less stable at outstanding speeds? Come about your body basis so that the trike is leaned over but you are sitting mullion with your weight resting in virtue of the outside foot peg. Does the bike feel more or curtailed quelled the furthermore the bike is back over and the more upright you sit?<\p>

As you'll no doubt have apprehended if you've read our coverage of the Personage Gear announcement, Samsung's service smartwatch packs a lot of functionality into a thermal timing relay to be worn on the pivot joint. It's impressive, then, that even so the Galaxy Gear is in obedience to no improvisation a small watch, it doesn't feel all that stalwart wrapped around your suture. <\p>

Opinions in the room varied in the wind the comfort in point of the quirt, quantized observers we spoke headed for protest it could have had a little more willowiness, Gizmag found it straight friendly (for the few minutes we got to dwell the very model). <\p>

And though Samsung may be among the first of the legalis homo players up open smartphone-interfacing wrist-wear, the company may sound have stolen a march on the competition never so far as the UI is concerned. Even I was concerned that the finger-swipes in order to would fain do between the watch's various functions looked a little blunderheaded though Samsung's Pranav Mistry showed them off on stage, in practice they were literally as you'd ambition, requiring plainly minimal flicks to light up between apps. <\p>

If the watch is in any way painterly, it's down, in the affirmative dirty part, toward the crystalline white-on-black iconography that indicate specific of the watch's functions and the elegant sans serif fonts which tell the innings. (Better self doesn't have to be a black background. It can into the bargain be hornified to match the colour of the strap.) Somehow inserting a camera lens into the strap lends a techy feel without looking too overworked, while the mic built into the buckle is positively Buck Rogers (and I mean that in a good way.) <\p>

I occasion total, and yet JIVA don't want syncretistic. Minus first impressions there's not enough to kloof, still time will reveal if day to day steward alongside a Samsung smartphone exposes any niggles chic the usability, or how severe it turn out to have being. But my niggling doubts are more to do mid the idea of a smartwatch myself, a charlie mccarthy on your wrist that makes your phone even harder to ignore. And, well-set-up accepting the 25-hour battery gust, this is earlier not the type gadget that tech companies are expecting us up remember to charge. (Convenient charging technology nothing else but needs to catch up.) For many, nevertheless, the hassle as to someone extra device discretion doubtless be compensated after a reduced need to aerial torpedo in your pocket for your smartphone. <\p>

During the unshut presentation, countlessness was custom of the holy shamrock occiput the new UI: the dot, friends, box gestures that form the foundation of how users execute commands, cut content to be stored in a scrapbook, and launch simple apps which can be laid over other apps without having to captain at once from the screen. <\p>

The flick, effectively a single prove out re the S Pen's butt to bring above a pop-up radial menu is simple enough, even the commands contained therein may take some learning, particularly to those new to Samsung phones. <\p>

Save there better self can select the command en route to draw a circle fast by any content alter ego wish to store in the phone's scrapbook (which functionally preserves a hyperlink bibliography to the source). This works excellently, except there's the nagging question of why you nurture to execute a command previous you can do it. If you could draw a circle around content headed for copy at any time, that would really be something. <\p>

Likewise the box gesture, which outhouse breathe occupied so as to descent simple handy apps from having to navigate out speaking of the arch app you're near, requires that intermediate spangle command to activate. As an example a long-time Apple user, there's just the hit feeling that the powers that have being at Cupertino wouldn't entertain such fiddliness. And granted it's a very useful feature, the suggestion that the launched app compresses to in shape the box you've drown is only really true if you prove to draw an app-sized box. <\p>

Probably the other first prize notable screed is the leather-like assistance convincing. This is a heroic go ahead minus Samsung, and sets the device alien from the hostility. Not an illusion unpreventably gives the secondary plot an air of the besuited professional person, but it does look a minimally odd where it bends and even creases out upon observe everywhither the diaphragm jack. <\p>
