ExplicitTT: 16 October 2011: Noisy fish, freezing sound and supermarkets | A bit of a troubling episode - Jake is severely depressed about a game of rugby and Ed's attempts to cheer him up with some fish sounds fails miserably. Also on the episode - Gregory Whitehead's 'Ice Music' - we discuss whether it is possible to freeze a sound and still hear it.We also discuss the tactics supermarkets use to control our minds, listen to a brief history of science in song and end up on some cliffs. Des Coulam of Soundlandscapes blog (soundlandscapes.wordpress.com/) also returns to play us out with some Parisian recordings.

ExplicitTT: 11 August 2011: London Riots, Steam Fusion & Sagan's Dot | In this week's edition, Ed plays us some of the audio recordings he made during the recent London riots in Hackney. With his flat building wedged in the middle of the disorder, we listen to some of the chaos that enfolded as the night progressed. We also play Nelida Pohl's 'Steam Fusion' - an imaginative piece of radio infused with the mechanical soundscapes associated with steam power and nuclear fusion. In this piece she explores the transition from past to present through the perspective of two characters, both united by their love for the sound of the machine. We also play Carl Sagan's 'pale blue dot' - providing reflection upon our place within the universe, words which still resonate strongly, particularly in light of recent events.

Customer Reviews
Like having friends in your ear
These guys keep getting better, both their production skills and banter. Good fun DIY podcasting with random sound tinkering, science, comedy and music. Archive wise episodes 8, 9, 10 and 11 all contain some great stuff, from the uncomfortableness of Andy's colonic irrigation Ed's intense, real recordings from the London Riots.
Brilliant!
Original, interesting & funny! Great podcast! Definitely worth a listen
