Smell is the most expendable sense according to millennials, but would you give it up? A world memory champion explains how he got to where he is. Letting your mind wander might take you to new, fantastical places in reality just as much as it does in imagination. Also, on today's show: a new initiative gets stories by and about Black families published; debate rages over the fate of American wild horses; TV is teaching tweens and teens some perhaps questionable values.
