The second season of Nocturnal Worlds is out today, featuring journeys through Australian nature for sleep and relaxation. Created by the Australian Museum (AM) and Audiocraft, this season explores the sonic worlds of the green sea turtle, mountain pygmy possum and the bare-nosed wombat. Not featured - the ring-tailed possums that run over Podnews's roof each evening. Probably for the best.
