Vaguely Scientific #196: Different Sounds for Different Creatures

About this episode

The episode explores the concept of sound in nature and personal preferences in a humorous discussion.

In this episode, Jim and Derek are joined by Aly to listen very carefully for trees falling in the forest, even if there aren't any folks around to hear them. Then, we get grouchy because there are people out there who like things that we don't. Panelists: Jim, Derek, Aly
