Open Your Ears

Open Your Ears is a podcast about the most underestimated sense we have. Hosted by Scott Simonelli -- composer, researcher, and founder of Veritonic -- each episode moves between science, history, and human experience to explore how sound shapes the way we think, feel, and move through the world. The show is a companion to the forthcoming book Open Your Ears: Blind Curve Ahead, which makes the case that humans built a visual civilization on top of an auditory nervous system -- and that we've been paying for it ever since. Some episodes are narrative. Some are conversations with scientists, musicians, and industry leaders. All of them will change the way you hear..
