Ep 18 - The Pro Interstate Hall of Fame

For this episode, we recorded the sounds of U.S. Interstate 77, which runs rights next to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. These are the sounds one hears in the parking lot next to the museum and facility. The ambient soundscape, brooding, repetitive, and industrial, offer an immersive soundscape for critically reflecting on football and its function within broader society. We approached the episode as a form of "sound art," in which the goal is the artistic, creative expression of an idea. Through episodes like this one, we hope to explore podcasting as sound art and the act of listening as an experience that is active, affective, and embodied.
