By taking audience members along a journey into questions we have about our own bodies, a visceral experience is guaranteed. From the bowels of hell, comes an odor of death and decay, a scent that has long been known throughout human history as the sign of doom. In this live taping, “Radiolab” correspondent Dr. Avir Mitra and senior producer Matt Kielty will grab hold of this horrible smell — born of a long-overlooked chemical element — and venture from the hospital room, to the battlefield; from the inside of your head, to the farthest reaches of space, to show you how something we’ve always thought was bad, may in fact be very, very good. Past installments of “Viscera” series include “[The Elixir of Life](https://radiolab.org/podcast/the-elixir-of-life),” a conversation exploring the ancient symbiotic experience of breastfeeding, “[How to Save a Life](https://radiolab.org/podcast/how-to-save-a-life),” delving into the science of cardiac arrest and “[Antibiotic Apocalypse](https://radiolab.org/podcast/antibiotic-apocalypse)," a search for answers to an alarming rise in antibiotic resistance bacteria. **\#\#\# Help Us Keep This Going \#\#\#** If you’d like to support the community: * **Donate via DonorBox:**…
