I do not have my regularly recording equipment with me in Europe so I have been using my phone. I think the earbuds somehow captured the sound of my hair lightly rubbing against the puffer vest I was wearing when I recorded this episode.  I can't figure out what else it could be, but I will make sure to put my hair up next time!]Kristen Ghodsee's author website: www.kristenghodsee.comPopular Books:Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic IndependenceRed Valkyries: Feminist Lessons from Five Revolutionary WomenSend us Fan MailThanks so much for listening.
