  • Hark | 14 | Disquieting
    Humans have filled the world with so much noise that the only sounds many of us often hear on a daily basis are our own. But all this sound isn’t great for our planetmates and it isn’t great for us either. In this episode, we look at how human-made sound makes it hard for other creatures to listen and communicate.Threshold is nonprofit, listener-supported, and independently produced.

About Threshold

Threshold is a Peabody Award-winning documentary podcast about our place in the natural world. Each season, we take listeners on a journey into the heart of a complex environmental story, asking how we got here and where we might be headed. In our latest season, Hark, we hand the mic over to our planet-mates and investigate what it means to truly listen to nonhuman voices—and the cost if we don't. With mounting social and ecological crises, what happens when we tune into the life all around us? Threshold is nonprofit, listener-supported, and independently produced.
