I was interested to learn more about audio papers and podcasts and discover the range of ways the information is typically presented to the listeners. I wasn’t sure how exactly to present my own – whether it was in a formal way, a conversational style, or if I was going to just work freely and see what style of presentation came naturally to me.
I came across “The Sound of Life Itself” on Soundcloud. I ended up listening to the whole podcast out of mere fascination, and found it quite helpful in establishing what kind style I’d like my audio paper to be. This podcast introduces field recordist, sound ecologist and musician Bernie Krause and explores the sounds of the world around us.
