A pair of gloves can sound like birds. A heavy-duty stapler like gunshots. An iced romaine lettuce like a skull breaking in. Discover the hidden world of Foley artists, why writing about music is notoriously difficult and how to hack the linear by drawing up your own sound map.
Mentioned in this episode: Jack Foley, quoted on Filmsound.org; E.M. Forster, Howards End (1910), Keri Smith, How to be an Explorer of the World (2008).
