Silent? Hardly! I distinctly heard both music and a bit of over-dubbed dialogue.

I was listening to Duncan Trussell’s latest podcast over the weekend and he and his guest talked a bit about tree climbing, and how it is “inhabiting a part of the multi-verse” that we normally take for granted. His guest was saying how you can go even just a short way up and listen in on all sorts of conversations because no one ever looks up.
