We're listening to...
Hey everyone, Aisha here.
I know it's hard to find listening material that both entertains and shakes up your world, but there's a lot out there. So we at Said.fm, as avid explorers of podcast land, will endeavour to share a little audio fun for your ears everyday or thereabouts.

Today, while gusty winds have been blowing golden leaves around in an autumnal dance outdoors, I've been snuggling up indoors, sipping on my rooibus and exercising my imagination by listening to Radiolab's episode 'Blink'. Featuring Walter Murch (yup!, the film editor of, amongst other prolific features, The Conversation) and japanese researchers, Tamami Nakano and Shigeru Kitazawa. The program not only made me appreciate the humble action of blinking but also heightened my curiosity on the subject.
If you haven't already discovered Radiolab's podcasts then you're really in for a treat. The format of the program aims to take on a big question to investigate, and in doing so the presenters (Jad and Robert) take you on a journey that blurs the lines between science, philosophy and human experience.
Without getting too geeky... ok, maybe a little geeky, Radiolab's programmes have been orchestrated and edited with near perfection; the addition of sounds, music and overlaying of voices give you a really engaging listening experience.
