In its latest “Sound(E)scapes” episodes, 60-Second Science presents an audio immersion into the Amazon rainforest, offering listeners a break from everyday news and pandemic-related concerns. In one episode, the series focuses on Amazon pink river dolphins, using recordings to capture their hunting activity. Another episode highlights sounds from the treetops, describing head-banging and howling as part of a broader soundscape that includes howler monkeys and crimson-crested woodpeckers. Both pieces frame the experience as a multi-part audio journey through the rainforest’s distinct habitats, moving between aquatic wildlife activity and vocal performances in the forest canopy. The episodes are designed for listening rather than on-screen visualization, aiming to convey how different species use sound in their environment. Across the coverage, the Amazon rainforest is presented as the central setting, with animal vocalizations and behaviors forming the core content of each episode.
