Great podcast — and the soap cutting! Have you seen Cooking tree? Korean cake-making channel on YouTube… soooo relaxing. Interestingly, I can’t bear listening to people eat or that saliva sound in the background of a whisper.
My daughter makes ASMR videos. It is her main creative focus. She creates, among other things, virtual sensory ‘reading rooms’. Her channel is here: https://youtube.com/@boosasmr?si=s8h3xKciTRYFe5AJ
Oh that soap cutting video is hypnotic, but I hope they can reuse it or it's a terrible waste!
I suppose the opposite of this is misophonia, where the person experiencing the sound is repulsed by it - someone I subscribe to on Substack was talking about that recently. She said that when someone sitting near her on the train opens a bag of crisps and starts chomping she wants to attack them. Scary.
Aren't we humans funny creatures?
Right- back to those videos. Thanks for this Jo. I had never heard of it until your article.
I swear I could smell those soaps as they scraped them. And every color smelled differently. Wild. It both mesmerized and annoyed me.
What did they smell like?
Lime and lemon and lavender and rose and sandalwood and mint and rosemary and
Lime and lemon !

Loved this. Listening to your podcast is a whole experience. So engaging!

Oh I'm so glad. The videos are so wonderful. Do not look up mukbang unless you want to be freaked out. Misophonia on steroids!
Blimey, you learn something new every day! 😯

You're my favourite producer!
