    Episode 3: Wild Sounds

    Sound is bigger than we think. Elephants feel it. Bats see with it. Mosquitos fall in love to it. As a violinist, I'm trained to hear everything..but I'm missing most of it. Whole conversations- completely out of range. Join us for Episode 3, with special guest Kris Light, as we explore the sounds of the natural world.

    Episode 1: Site X

    Oak Ridge was known only as Site X. Tens of thousands of people were brought here almost overnight. Scientists, engineers, laborers, young women operating machines they were never told the purpose of. Entire families living behind fences under armed guard, sworn to secrecy. Many didn't even know what they were building, they just knew it mattered. Here, uranium was enriched. Here, the atomic age began, and here the world fundamentally changed. Oak Ridge was built on urgency, precision, and innovation and just like an orchestra, the Manhattan Project required timing, coordination, trust, and people playing their parts without seeing the full score. In this podcast, we'll talk to scientists, musicians, historians, and thinkers. We'll explore questions like, why does music move us physically and emotionally? How do scientific discoveries influence the way we hear and create sound? What can musicians learn from physicists and vice versa? And how does a place like Oak Ridge continue to shape both science and art?
