Lazy weekend poll ~ fall listening list, edition 1

Posted by Robin on 31 October 2020 294 Comments

It’s Halloween, and we’re expecting a blue moon. Plus, if you live in a daylight savings state, it’s time to fall back. (RIP Sean Connery.)

So this weekend, we’re building a listening list, in case you don’t feel like reading or watching tv. Tell us about any great audio content: podcasts, audio books, even new music or streaming radio stations.

And of course, tell us what perfume you’re wearing today, and/or what fragrance we should be wearing when we listen to your content.

It’s Emotionally Scented Friday! Our community project for today: wear a perfume that gives you a strong emotional response (it makes you laugh, cry, feel sad, or becomes part of your armor to face the world, etc). Thanks go to Johanob for the idea (and he gave the example of Guerlain L’Heure Bleue, which makes him feel sad).

What fragrance did you pick? As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you’re not participating in the community project.
