July 20, Capturing and Freeing Sound

Episode 1. A journey through the themes of July 20th ; A day that, like every day, holds a story waiting to be told. Our story begins with the father of radio, his mystical belief in the power of sound waves, his complicated role in the Titanic disaster, how he was wrong, and how he was right. His waves bring us to places as diverse as A yacht race in which the boats could not compete with the speed of sound, the first ever recorded voice, which did not come from Edison, (although we will get to him) and the champions of the digital revolution. A journey of sound waves and how they have been captured and set free throughout time. Visit endless reverberations.com to learn more and to keep up with the show.
