Have you ever wondered what it sounds like under the sea? Well in this episode, we're taking you on a journey. We encourage you to lie back and listen, as we immerse you in whale songs, sounds and stories... You might recognise Tom Mustill, author of How to Speak Whale, from last season. In 2015 he was almost killed when a breaching whale landed on his canoe. This event launched an obsession into whale communication, and with childhood friend and audio expert Vahakn Matossian, he's using whale song to raise awareness of their plight. https://www.tommustill.com/ Shambala Festival - Adventures in Utopia: https://www.shambalafestival.org/
