🔊 NEW EPISODE 🔊

RS 046: The Scourge of Modern Civilization is about scam and spam phone calls, telephony regulation in the US and shitty desk jobs. Hear it now, wherever you hear things!

[beth @bethbourdon]

last night genevieve learned if you stand on one end of this plastic piece of garbage and lift the other end with your paw and let it go, it will make a snapping noise every time, and the most fun time to do it is 2am.

A Bitcoin mine moved into a Texas town--then its residents started getting sick. I traveled to Granbury and talked to 50+ people experiencing symptoms that seem to stem from the mine's noise, including heart palpitations, seizures, migraines, blood clots https://t.co/8urz0fzM9f

@LonnieComics HMMMMMM

this woman is very talented but this was an extremely uncanny watch; every kind of advertising voiceover I hear IRL makes me feel like I’m in a Verhoeven movie and I can’t believe we’ve let ourselves make it such an ambient part of our experience

[Robert Komaniecki @Komaniecki_R]

One of the funniest interactions I’ve had on here

[Jeffrey Ladish @JeffLadish]

In-the-wild example of someone using a voice deepfake to hack a company:

"The caller claimed to be one of the members of the IT team, and deepfaked our employee’s actual voice. The voice was familiar with the floor plan of the office, coworkers, and internal processes of the company. Throughout the conversation, the employee grew more and more suspicious, but unfortunately did provide the attacker one additional multi-factor authentication (MFA) code."

Before all you hipsters throw out your cds, we have sold more cds in the past week than anytime in the past year, and more cds than vinyl for the first time in years!

[Dr Matt Pope @MatthewPope]

Points in landscapes that produce echos can be very specific, to within a radius of a few metres, has anyone mapped them in a region, so others can find them?

Kids are buying CDs for the exact same reason I started buying vinyl in the early 2000s: cause it *was* a cheap, fun hobby. https://t.co/8ALCSDOyMk

[Edmond Tran @EdmondTran]

Also HOLY SHIT #MortalKombat1 has a descriptive audio option for Fatalities and it is

ABSOLUTELY
INCREDIBLE

[Reasonably Sound @reasonablysnd]

@plaidsicle Ohhhh this is a good point - there are scripts available for patrons ahead of release, but not ep tx as-such. I could definitely upload … probably *most* scripts to the website. Is there a particular episode you’re after?

Scientists are playing sounds underwater to trick fish into coming back to dead coral reefs - and it's working.

@amnesiack @mikerugnetta It’s so good!

[Lurkas Mayhem @amnesiack]

I'm re-listening to old episodes of @mikerugnetta's podcast @reasonablysnd, and today I was reminded by the road trip episode that this gem exists.

I swear this is not sponcon but I went to visit a local cheese maker in the Irish countryside and it was really lovely ; last shot is a disused copper cheese making vat that we have recorded because it makes a cool sound when struck with force

"A top secret military acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard what the U.S. Navy suspected was the Titan submersible implosion hours after the vehicle began its mission, officials involved in the search said."

Just like how ads never buffer

[Max RN @MaxRivlinNadler]

The MTA is now running ads over the PA system, which *shockingly* are way clearer and louder than actual subway announcements.

You won't know when your train is getting there, but you WILL know that Indiana Jones is coming out on June 30th!!!
