• Introducing: Twenty Thousand Hertz - Minecraft

  This week we are excited to introduce you to one of our favorite podcasts being made today, Twenty Thousand Hertz, a family-friendly podcast that tells the stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds. And this episode features something we can all love... Minecraft. Since its official release in 2011, Minecraft has grown from a small, experimental indie game into the best-selling video game of all time. Today, the game's haunting music and quirky sound effects are just as iconic as its blocky visuals. In this episode, composer and sound designer Daniel Rosenfeld (also known as C418) unpacks how he created the original music and sounds for the game. Your guide on this sonic journey is Dallas Taylor, a sound expert who's been featured in The New York Times, NPR, and is a Ted Mainstage speaker. This episode was written and produced by Leila Battison. To find out more about Twenty Thousand Hertz, you can follow the show on Twitter, Facebook, & Reddit or on their website www.20k.org Looking for merch from Unspookable and your favorite Soundsington Media shows?

• Episode 71: Skinwalkers & Cultural Appropriation with Christopher Allen Brewer

  Over the last few years, more listeners have requested this topic than any other, but it's a story that isn't ours to tell. And perhaps shouldn't be told at all. Native American Paranormal Adviser, Christopher Allen Brewer, helps us navigate our curiosity without shame as we discuss cultural appropriation and tales of skinwalkers on this episode of… Unspookable.   Host: Elise Parisian Written, Produced, Edited by: Nate DuFort Music Direction and Composition: Jesse Case Logo by: Natalie Khuen You can find Unspookable on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram at: https://www.tiktok.com/@unspookablepodcast https://twitter.com/ImUnspookable https://www.instagram.com/unspookablepodcast/ Special thanks this week to Christopher Allen Brewer. While much of his work is intended for older audiences, you can find out more about Christopher at www.thespiritchasers.com or IMDB  And a big thank you this week to our dear friend Ashley Comeau. The book Living Ghosts and Mischievous Monsters: Chilling American Indian Stories written by Dan SaSuWeh Jones is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever great books are sold. We appreciate and learned a lot from Cherokee Nation researcher, educator, writer, and podcaster Adrienne Keene and her blog Native Appropriations.
