Recommended Listening
[|Permeate: Anthony Magen] - Taking to the city on foot, Miyuki Jokiranta and Anthony Magen explore one of its often overlooked qualities: sound.

[|Harnessed: Mark Changizi] - Why should we humans have evolved to have produce things such as language, music and the arts as distinct from our cousins? Evolutionary biologist Mark Changizi believes the answer lies in the fact that our language and culture actually imitates nature. He calls it 'nature-harnessing'.

[|Learning language in utero] - How people learn language while still infants is a marvel. But in fact, the learning begins even before birth, while still in utero. So babies are already primed to attend to the speech patterns that they hear around them, once out in the world.

[|Listening to country] - If you could listen to country, what would you hear? Is it a hum, an echo or a chorus? In this program we explore the concept of 'deep listening' as it relates to Aboriginal notions of country. We join the artist Vicki Couzens, the musician Lou Bennett and the educator Dr Doris Paton and find out what deep, respectful listening means to them. Some say the concept of 'deep listening' is being alert to everything - even silence. But is it too abstract - or is it a way to deepen the conversation?

[|Say that again - tales of noisy nosh] - So many of our modern eateries are built with reflective surfaces, floor included. So when a place heats up the last thing you can hear is the person sitting across the table.

[|Radiolab] believes your ears are a portal to another world. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience. Big questions are investigated, tinkered with, and encouraged to grow. Bring your curiosity and we'll feed it with possibility.

[|Tinnitus: tormented by noise] - The word 'tinnitus' has a lovely, tinkly ring to it. In reality it's debilitating to have loud and constant sound ringing in your ears. What is tinnitus? How do you get it? Can you get rid of it?

[|Science with Chris Smith: Tinnitus] - Beethoven was one of the world's greatest composers, but he was also plagued by Tinnitus - a condition where someone hears a range of noises in their head.

In the Presence of Elephants and Whales - We were made and set here, the writer Annie Dillard once wrote, "to give voice to our astonishments." Katy Payne is a renowned acoustic biologist with a Quaker sensibility. And she’s found her astonishment in listening to two of the world’s most exotic creatures. She has decoded the language of elephants and was among the first scientists to discover that whales are composers of song.

The symphony of natural sounds within our national parks is an important natural resource and a critical component of the ecological communities that parks seek to preserve.

It takes two to lie. One to lie and one to listen. - The Simpsons

Everything changes when you know you're being listened to. - Hugo Antonio Santiago

Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom. - Francis Bacon

Misc / [|Ron's comments on World Listening Day 2013] Absolutely love this day! I've been aware of World Listening Day for three years now as it articulated a long-held love of the world we hear when we focus and listen. I've never been so organized as to organize a shared soundwalk on this day in particular, but it's on my list of things to do! Meanwhile, I am aware of soundwalks and soundscapes and that is thanks to taking seriously the ideas you've articulated so well. That we can tweet with the hashtag #worldlisteningday I'm hoping awakens a whole new group of soon-to-be listeners. Thank you so much!
