   Bonus Ep: Acoustic Access to Knowledge (feat. Kylie Giblett)

   Hello again, “Real Is Not Real Enough” enthusiasts! In this special episode, we're happy to present an article titled "Acoustic Access to Knowledge." This piece is a product of the original Günther Anders podcast translation project, where we explore the profound impact of sound on our understanding of the world. Dive into the intricate world of sound with Kylie Giblett from The University of Sydney, as she performs the audio version of an article penned by a member of the “Real Is Not Real Enough” team, Ben Nickl. This article, combined with sound editing and mixing by Jacob Craig (who also did the sound work on season one of our podcast), brings you a compelling auditory experience that goes beyond the written word. But, before we embark on this sonic journey, we want to extend our gratitude and assurance to the members of the Deaf, Late-Deafened, Deafblind, Deaf-disabled, Hard-of-Hearing, and Hearing-Impaired Community. Your experiences matter; we're committed to ensuring our content is accessible and inclusive. If you prefer transcripts or written content, you can find them online at bit.ly/3Rc6Zp6.
