Recommended Episode: Sound and Health: Cities
Is our blaring modern soundscape harming our health? Cities are noisy places and while people are pretty good at tuning it out on a day-to-day basis our sonic environments have serious, long-term impacts on our mental and physical health.
Recommended by listeners James Pattison (pitcher) and Krista Dalby (via Facebook)

An episode that goes from history of Tetris, to nostalgia of playing, to how it can distract from existential dread.
