Our story
When we started back in 2016 we had a mission: to tell the stories behind the world’s most recognizable and interesting sounds. And some 200 episodes later, that mission hasn’t changed.
Along the way we’ve explored the sound design behind famous brands like Apple, Netflix, HBO, McDonalds and Microsoft. We’ve found out how whales switched their singing pitch, and why modern movie dialogue is so hard to understand. We’ve even solved some sonic mysteries, like the source of a strange hum coming from a Canadian island.

Of course, we don’t work alone – we’ve got tons of friends in the podcasting world. Our collaborators include 99% Invisible, The Happiness Lab, Meditative Story, Strong Songs and more. Basically, if you love sound, we’d love to work with you.
We also bring that love to the sound design of our podcast, thanks to the team at our sister company Defacto Sound. That’s led to three Webbies and three Ambies, along with a bunch of other accolades from the likes of Adweek, The New York Times and Apple.
