SPECIALS
Special #1 - The Mixtape Interviews - Dr. David Simpson
We talk to Dr. David Simpson, the geophysicist who recorded the earthquake sounds that were included on the Voyager Golden Record "Sounds of Earth" montage.
Special #2 -Greetings from Earth Special
We talk about the greetings to the OSPs from the people of earth, recorded in 55 different languages! And then we play a silly game of Google Translate whenein we highlight the depths of our own linguistic ignorance!
Special #3 - Sounds of Earth Special
We talk about the Sounds of Earth montage, a 12-minute collection of terrestial noises that the Voyager Golden Record folks out together in order for the OSPs to get an idea of what the Earth sounds like (I guess?).
