Thanks for the head up Abhi. This was great.

I agree. Cool. And thanks for the links that open up in new browsers, too.

Thanks for the head up Abhi. This was great. It's amazing how sound can so powerfully bring back memories and transport you to the place you associate with those sounds.

I'd love to hear NPR do a piece on the sounds of urban India. Specific urban sounds -- trains, trams, cars honking, the roadside sellers hawking their wares, scooters & three-wheelers -- all remind me of my visits to Calcutta and other cities.

I have been listening to the whole series and I should say it lives up to the standards to other Radio Expeditions. In fact todays edition was recorded on Nov 2nd itself in India.

AMU- I’m totally with you on the notion you felt you were India. I loved it as well.

I’m just amazed at how much radio waves can do. I didn’t think I would enjoy this series because I thought I would need to see the people talking, the pictures, etc. However, in a rare moment, I was proven wrong.
