On this segment of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac welcomes science journalist and author Chris Berdik for a conversation that goes beyond volume knobs and earplugs. Berdik—whose work has appeared in The Atlantic, Mother Jones, New Scientist, and more—joins the show to explore his latest book Clamor, a gripping deep-dive into the overlooked dangers of noise pollution. From sleepless nights to rising blood pressure, and even disruptions to wildlife, Berdik uncovers how chronic, low-level noise is affecting our health, our focus, and our world. It's a must-hear discussion about the sounds we live with, the silence we’ve lost, and how we can reclaim the peace.
