Conversing Our Soundscape of Fear is a podcast generating links between academic research and sound design practices. It questions the relationship between sound and the spectrum of fear emotions such as distress, apprehension, and alertness. What can the action of listening tell us about our fears?

Underneath our visually abundant designed world, a prevalent amount of sonic tactics are practised as well. Yet still hearing is considered an underrated sense. Simultaneously our sonic attention is activated and manipulated for specific means related to the affordances of the design.

Conversing Our Soundscape of Fear questions the synthetically crafted and naturally appearing sounds in our environment that are associated with triggering our fear spectrum. Each episode is interwoven with sound performances and discussions between moderators, Studiocalh, and a series of guests that are invited to share their sonic expertise by playing the speculative roles of the Sound Agent and Sound Politician.
