I’m Dallas Taylor, and I host a show called Twenty Thousand Hertz which tells the stories behind the world’s most recognizable and interesting sounds. The following playlist includes a couple of our episodes as well as what I consider the cream of the crop in sonic goodness. They demonstrate incredible ways to use sound in storytelling as well as how to effectively talk about sound in a clear and unpretentious way. They are brilliantly crafted and communicate complex ideas within a sound-rich package. Many of these episodes were watershed moments in the development of Twenty Thousand Hertz. Enjoy!
