Plane Sounds Inception Point Ai We love relaxing to the interior sounds of planes in flight. When we are not traveling we play these to sleep, relax, or to just help our minds take flight and get away for metaphysical vacation. We source the best recordings and can often be found with our mics out and making new tracks as we rack up the frequent flyer points. Headphones on or off these tracks sound great either way. If you are looking for a particular plane, let us know and we will make sure to get it recorded. Buckle up, sit back, relax and enjoy the flight. Safe travels!!!

A fat sound, with meaty vocals combining The Stories Podcast The Stories Podcast The “story” format seems to be appearing everywhere now hint hint Instagram, Facebook Messenger & of course Snapchat.What is it that makes the format work so well?Connection — Most stories are filmed with the front facing camera creating a personal 1-on-1 feel between the creator and the viewer.Time Limit — 10 seconds sounds like a really short time.. it’s not. It is just long enough to make a point and deliver value & no more. Keeping the viewers attention and focus.Vertical — First off I love the vertical angle for a number of reasons but it just feels right, in terms of stories it works wonders and changes the way the story is told resulting in this unique media.Ordering — As stories are shown from the oldest to newest clip you get to watch moments unfold which is a big change from algorithmic/time based feeds like Twitter which chop up messages designed to be consumed in ascending order.It seems like more and more people are creating stories with value — however the content i The Hoosier Sound | IU Sports Podcast IndianaHQ We are the official podcast of IndianaHQ. Our mission and goal is simple: we want to bring in-depth analysis and coverage for Indiana University sports to as many fans as possible across a multitude of modern platforms. "The Hoosier Sound" was founded in 2017 by Noah Freeman and Matt Lukens who had a passion for all IU sports. The guys wanted to give listeners analysis of programs such as Indiana basketball, Indiana football, Indiana soccer, Indiana women's basketball, Indiana baseball, Indiana swim and dive, and more. We also do a daily IU sports news roundup called "Hoosier Sound-Off."
