    Fear of Silence

    Then... in the second story from Here Be Monsters , the producers look behind the figurative curtain of radio and podcast producing, at something we call 'room tone.’ Jeff calls back crow researcher and previous program guest Kaeli Swift and asks her what it was like to sit in silence with a stranger.

    Then... in the second story from Here Be Monsters, the producers look behind the figurative curtain of radio and podcast producing, at something we call 'room tone.’ Jeff calls back crow researcher and previous program guest Kaeli Swift and asks her what it was like to sit in silence with a stranger. And Bethany explains the differences in the anxieties that she and Jeff have towards silence.

    Produced by Jeff Emtman and Bethany Denton. Music from The Black Spot.
