Ways of Knowing
New ways of thinking about the world, brought to you by the humanities and The World According to Sound. We’re working with universities to translate academic research into sound. Each season has a radically different format and topic. You’ll never hear the same kind of thing twice. We’re independent and ad free. Patreon is the best way to support our work. https://www.patreon.com/theworldaccordingtosound
