  • Hey, listeners.

  • My favorite part of making podcasts and videos is shining a spotlight on the people

  • and places that tend to go unnoticed.

  • And the vast majority of our best stories come from you.

  • So if any of these apply, then drop us a note.

  • You have an incredible sound job or you know someone who has an incredible sound job.

  • It could be in entertainment, science, engineering, or anything else in the sound and music world.

  • You know an awesome sound story about a specific place,

  • whether it's a company, a museum, a venue, a factory, or some other location.

  • You know a surprising twisty-turny sound story that deserves to be a 20,000 Hertz episode,

  • especially if there's a really deep human story behind it.

  • If your idea involves a popular person, place, or thing that people have heard of, great.

  • But if not, and it's just a really good story, even if it's obscure, that's also great.

  • To send us that idea, visit 20k.org slash story.

  • Again, that's 20k.org slash story.

  • You're listening to 20,000 Hertz.

  • The stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds.

  • I'm Dallas Taylor.

  • Okay, I want to let you in on a secret.

  • I also don't love the sound of my voice,
