From this first day of April onwards, nothing will be the same. With decades of print and a semester of audio journalism under our belt, the Yale Herald is proud to present the paper’s newest section: “Herald Olfactory”! This new desk, god willing, will offer readers a feast for the eyes, ears, and nose. Take a guided tour of Yale University’s various, distinct smells. Visit Toad’s on a Thursday morning; waft in gentle notes of Dean Holloway’s cologne; savor this slice of pizza someone left in the Herald fridge over Spring Break.

When you’re all smelled out, settle down and listen to some wonderful (real) stories, courtesy of the Herald Audio team. We’ve collected a few of our best pieces—some published earlier in the semester, others making their debut this morning—and dropped an album for your listening pleasure. In our features, Sophie Ruehr talks ROTC and Lydia Keating sails into the Long Island Sound. Between these longer stories, listen to a local personality guess where I’m from with uncanny accuracy, then follow Eve Sneider as she moves through the sounds and silences of Tokyo—her childhood home. At Herald Audio, we want to make Yale, New Haven, and the rest of the world come alive to you one story at a time. So come on. Give us a listen. Travel far.
