Dia Kline | How to be a funny lady

What's funny about losing your sense of smell?

Before covid, hardly anyone knew what anosmia was and even now, not so many do. We refer to it more commonly as not being able to smell. It's hard to believe that some people are born without the ability to smell and that's known as congenital anosmia. So, don't ever say I don't teach you things.

My guest on this episode is a congenital anosmic and she's probably one of the few people on the planet who makes talking about it hilarious. In fact, she's super funny and one of my favourite people to chat with. Meet the amazing Dia Kline!

We both had a lot of fun and laughs recording this episode and we hope you will too. Dia is way more than a congenital anosmic... She's an actress, a comedian an incredible speaker and a rule breaker. She tells me that purple is her natural hair colour. I believe her. Above all else, she is a storyteller and she has some great stories to share with us.
