How do we perceive the world around us? With our senses, of course! But what in the world are those two mystery senses you may have never considered?

In this episode of Wild Interest, Evan gets a closer look at the world of sight with eyeglass merchant Adrien Bouet in Paris, France, and Nichole tantalizes your taste buds while discussing the fantastic world of ice cream flavors with Pete Van Leeuwen of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. Then we go beyond the five senses and explore two new mystery senses you may have never considered!

But wait, there's more! Ever wonder about legendary creatures with massive wingspans? Evan's Cryptid Corner takes on the Thunderbird; a legendary creature with a wingspan so broad it's said to whip up storms! Plus, we're introducing a new segment: Bobby the Bigfoot hosts "Name Stuff," a game show where kid contestants try to guess what grown-ups do for their jobs. Let's get wild!

Listen now and discover the wild world your senses reveal!
