Listen Later

Today, Nicole Cloutier is thrilled to sit down with Amelia Hruby, a writer, podcaster, and founder of the feminist podcast studio, Softer Sounds. Together, they explore a word we so often take for granted... "listen."

In this episode you'll learn...

  • The etymology, history, and rich philosophical nuances of the word "listen."
    • How listening—more than just hearing—is an act of tending (and attending) that can transform our understanding of the world around us.
    • Why "active listening" is actually a redundant phrase (and why deep listening is much more rewarding for all involved).
