This episode of Making Waves focuses on World Listening Day with composer Eric Leonardson from Chicago and filmmaker Raquel Castro from Lisbon. In conversation with host Darren Copeland they cover the theme of the Unquiet Earth and also the relevance of considering sound when talking about global phenomena such as Climate Change and COVID-19 pandemic. World Listening Day takes place on July 18 every year. The 2021 edition features a 24 hour broadcast on Wave Farm, NAISA Radio and the YouTube channel of the World Listening Project. The show is book-ended with hydrophone recordings by Elizabeth Chitty in St. Catherines, Ontario and from Zach Poff's Pond Station at the Wave Farm in Acra, NY.
