Meet Trent: A thirty-something who resembles that guy at work everyone loves to hate. Meet Walker: A late-twenty-something entrepreneur who runs two companies with Trent. Together they lead an alternative lifestyle. Apart, they may as well be roommates. This is Scratch & Sniff, the smell-inspired story of how Walker learned that love and business just don’t mix... Note: The episodes are super short! (Usually under 10 minutes or less.) Oh and get your smell-o-vision ready, each story begins with a spark triggered by a specific smell.
