In May 2021 Hakai Magazine published a five-episode mini podcast called The Sound Aquatic. While our team has a break over the holidays, we’re bringing you that series. Here’s the final episode, “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.”

Can we learn to be good neighbors and turn the noise down? On this final episode of The Sound Aquatic, we try to find out.
