Summary

It all started at a science conference. A woman named Joy Milne stood up after a lecture on Parkinson’s disease and asked the speaker, “Why do people with Parkinson’s smell like that?” The scientist, Dr. Tilo Kunath, was confused. He had never heard that Parkinson’s had a smell. But Joy was confident. She said she could smell it, and she had smelled it before anyone diagnosed her husband. Things I Learned Last Night is an educational comedy podcast where best friends Jaron Myers and Tim Stone talk about random topics and have fun all along the way.
