Ep. 995 – How Noise Took Over & How We Can Take It Back with Chris Berdik (@chrisberdik)
Description
“It's all about thinking, not just about the noise, but about the sounds around us, those that can be an ally and a resource for us, and kind of think in a proactive way about sound. And when we are building our buildings, when we are designing our cities to design with the sound in mind” – Chris Berdik
Today’s featured author is a husband, father, Harvard graduate, and award-winning science journalist, Chris Berdik. Chris and I had a fun on a bun chat about his book, “Clamor: How Noise Took Over the World - and How We Can Take It Back”, the hidden health impacts of noise pollution, the importance of soundscape design, and more!!
