Gordon Hempton says that silence is an endangered species. He defines real quiet as presence — not an absence of sound, but an absence of noise. The Earth, as he knows it, is a "solar-powered jukebox." Quiet is a "think tank of the soul." We take in the world through his ears.
This new podcast contains recordings of some amazing places around the world. Personally I really enjoy the recording of Rialto Beach. They call it the world's largest violin.
