I'm Listening

Send us Fan MailColor Noise was originally released on May 30th, 2024 and has been one of our most referenced and listened to episodes. We wanted to bring it back as one of our Re-Listens this season because it’s one of our most impactful and liked in the catalog. Enjoy! ---Noise, noise, noise!  This is a podcast called I'm Listening, a podcast that has hundreds of different subjects to talk about. As we aim for wrapping up this first season, we decided to tackle likely the largest, most audacious listening category there is… sound, in particular noise. So, let’s start with color. Er, what? We chat about the concept of white, pink, and brown noise and why it exists. We take a deep dive on how it is measured in terms of frequency, amplitude, and decibels, how it all relates to colors, and why we love it.FIND US ON THE YOUTUBES! That's right, come check us out.

Send us Fan MailAs a parent, if your child is diagnosed with something big, you know you're in for a steep learning curve. Listening plays a crucial role in learning how to navigate the world successfully for your kid. How do you ask the right questions to doctors? How do you talk with educators about your child's education? How do you navigate all of the information that's out there and make sense of it? Our guest today, Dr. Theresa Lyons, founder and CEO of Navigating AWEtism, has had such an experience. Not only has she been an advocate for her own daughter, but has been a resource, coach, and mentor for thousands of other families around the world. More at: awetism.netFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NavigatingAWEtism/Music Sources:"Magistar" Kevin MacLeod, Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 LicenseFIND US ON THE YOUTUBES! That's right, come check us out.

Send us Fan MailWell, we changed our mind. We were going to hold off and drop Season 5 this fall, but we changed our mind. And to add a dash of irony to us dropping S.5 early, this episode attempts to answer the question - How does listening play a factor when we change our mind?We discuss everything from purchasing a car, to getting a tattoo, running a marathon, and strapping in for a zip line.  What are the internal drivers and  external factors when it comes to listening? Also, what role does our good friend Will play in all of this? Season 5… here we go! Sources: https://www.npr.org/programs/ted-radio-hour/1248886686/changing-our-minds?showDate=2024-05-03https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-neuroscience-of-changing-your-mind/#:~:text=According%20to%20a%20March%202018%20article%20in,decision%2C%20you%20can%20successfully%20revise%20your%20plans FIND US ON THE YOUTUBES! That's right, come check us out.
