Acerca de esta escucha

 Insects are dying off at an apocalyptic rate, or are they? Now there's a way to find out. In this limited series, we go to a remote island rainforest to listen to sound-based research that could reveal the truth about global insect death. Even if we find them icky, insects are essential to human, animal, and plant existence. If they disappear, we're all in deep trouble. Bill McQuay is an award-winning science and audio producer. In collaboration with a research team, he uses his investigative and listening skills to search for an answer to whether insects are on the verge of extinction.©2023 Ecolocation Sound (P)2023 Audible Originals, LLC Aire libre y Naturaleza Animales Ciencia Ciencias Biológicas

    Episode 1: Count Down to the Apocalypse?
    Aug 3 2023

    Several recent news reports have pointed to something terrifying: insect numbers are in catastrophic decline, with some even calling it an “insectageddon.” And while some scientists question these claims, most agree that the demise of these tiny creatures would be the end of us. In the inaugural episode of Insects and the Apocalypse, we explore the fundamental question: how does one even count insects? We then meet a team of scientists working in a small island rainforest who may have stumbled upon the answer.

Good sound, a good story, and smart scientists who are excellent communicators and committed conservationists.

Hoping for more.

This short, casual podcast takes an important ecological topic and discusses it in a conversational manner. The delivery is great for explaining data, statistics, and scientific terms to listeners who want to learn more about insect population decline--or lack thereof?--but who wouldn't independently read scientific papers.

The soundscapes of different biomes aren't just pleasing to listen to, but help demonstrate how interesting yet challenging this field of acoustics is. I loved how the journalist related insect acoustic studies to those of more charismatic subjects like bats, coral reefs, whales, and elephants to show how connected these efforts are.

Informative Immersive Podcast
