Bostonist's Field Trip to WFNX
Charlie, Fletcher, and Special Ed of WFNX morning show The Sandbox invited Bostonists Korri and Caroline up to chat about the Smells of the T. Little did we know that smells would be the theme of the entire show. Callers were eager to share the smells they have encountered all over the state, such as peanut-butter factories, burnt coffee, prison feet, and pee simmering on radiators (ugh).
For the record, the WFNX studio smells like "dude." The main odors are open cans of Red Bull, dust, and slightly grungy sneakers. Bostonist brought some orange-chocolate muffins, which improved the studio's smell considerably.
We've posted a picture of the broadcast and a link to the interview. Thanks again to WFNX and their callers! Perhaps we should expand "The Smells of the T" to "The Smells of Massachusetts"!

And we snapped some pictures of the studio. Alas, smells cannot be transmitted via the Internets, so we cannot convey the "dudeness." Pictures must suffice.
