Sound of the Day Podcast - October 8 2006
The Sound of the Day retrospective exploration of podcasts gone by continues with the July 2005 theme from the French cool pop band Les Gerbilbunnies.
This is a Sound heard too often in dry areas, but the Sound of the Day podcast sound for today makes the ground and surrounding vegetation happy. Children love this Sound when they get a chance to run and play around it. What kind of Sound could bring this much joy to so many?
If you think you know what makes today's Sound, drop us a line. We would love to hear from you!
The Sound of the Day for October 7, 2006 is a collection of bottles being rustled around before being set out for recycling.

The retrospective exploration of Sound of the Day podcasts gone by continue with the June 2005 theme from the pop band Ned and the Nedtones and this calypso-inspired tune. Kinda catchy, isn't it?
The Sound of the Day podcast sound for today can be heard after a large party during cleanup or any time you take out recyclables after having a few too many. What could be making this Sound?

The Sound of the Day for October 6, 2006 is a electric lawn trimmer (sometimes called a weed whacker) being pulsed on and off a few times, then brought up to full speed.

One more day of the retrospective exploration of Sound of the Day podcasts gone by with the May 2005 theme from avant-garde band Robing Nutmeat. This theme was commissioned in reaction to outcry from April 2005 listeners who complained that the themes were getting a bit fluffy.
If you're working on a lawn that's out of control, you'll be making the Sound of the Day podcast sound for today. Any idea what's making this Sound?

The Sound of the Day for October 5, 2006 is a plastic tube at least a few feel long being twirled around so that it resonates at a different frequencies depending on how quickly it is being spun.

Sound of the Day Podcast - October 5 2006
Another day into our retrospective exploration of Sound of the Day podcasts gone by with the April 2005 theme from European New Age artist J Anderstein. This theme, in its original unexpurgated form caused quite a backlash when it first appeared. A few people posted very negatively about it as if a temporary shift into a mellow style of music was the end of the world... or at least the end of podcasting as we knew it. We were just glad they cared enough to be upset.
People familiar with odd musical instruments and emergency rooms may have an easier time recognizing the Sound of the Day podcast sound for today. Now that hint should be enough to confuse anyone. If you don't recognize it, just listen with an open mind and the answer may swing your way...

The Sound of the Day for October 4, 2006 is someone drinking the last bit, rather noisily, from their fast food soda cup.

Today we continue our retrospective exploration of Sound of the Day podcasts gone by with a theme created by the Shimmer Twins. This band provided the mid-80's echo-laden soundtrack for Sounds presented in February 2005.
Techies will probably recognize this one right away. The Sound of the Day podcast sound for today is a critical one for everyone using computers. Well, it's important if you want to save anything from session to session. Let's just say that without this very quiet Sound your work and play would be greatly restricted. Any idea what makes this Sound?

Okay, we admit. This one is rude. Now you've been warned. But just for that sake alone, it must be considered a classic Sound of the Day podcast sound. If you live in or near running water, you must have heard some variation on today's Sound. Can you guess what it is?

The Sound of the Day for October 1, 2006 is a silly song composed of voice and flatulent hand noises.

Special Note
Times are changing and the Sound of the Day is too.
During October, we'll be evaluating the future of this podcast to determine if we have the resources to do new shows or if we should just say it's been a wonderful experience and move on to other projects. October Sounds will come from the archives and contain some of our favorites from over the last 20+ months, so don't be surprised if you've heard the themes before and they change from day to day.
One way or the other, we love what we've been able to accomplish and look forward to the future of podcasting.
Thanks, as always, for listening!
