Scentless Apprentice
4-part radio show, broadcasting live on Tuesdays.
With Maxwell Williams

2nd episode: Knock-Off the Old Block
TS Eliot famously wrote, “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.” How do plagiarization, mimicry, and re-creation play into contemporary ideas about perfume and smell?
With special guests: Charles Cronin (Perfume Law Expert, USC Gould School of Law), Dr. Gregory Khitrov (Sr. Development Engineer, UCLA Chemistry & Biochemistry), Christopher Brosius (Founder, CB I Hate Perfume), Saskia Wilson-Brown (Founder, Institute for Art and Olfaction/Filmmaker)
Scented Bops: Duke Ellington “Perfume Suite”; Plastic Bertrand “Mon Nez Mon Nez”

Scentless Apprentice is a bricolage radio program featuring a concoction of interviews, true stories, tall tales, and cultural oddities explored through the lens of scent. Each episode explores the world of perfumery and other nasal-centric concerns through a single topic. Host Maxwell Williams will be broadcasting live every Tuesday night at Mediamatic’s sunny Panorama Studio, for the first aromatic radio show, anywhere, ever.

In partnership with The Institute for Art and Olfaction, Mediamatic and dublab.
