Today, while we're all sequestered at home, business operations continue. Without the benefit of face-to-face communications, our ability to influence and indeed create relationships with others is a serious challenge.

Steve speaks with wildlife sound recordist Roger Boughton about curiosity, wildlife sound recording, and the sound that sap makes as it rises in a tree.
