Podcast: Designing tech for learning wild calls and audio analysis via citizen science

Hi all!

If you are interested in technologies that help us all learn calls of the wild from audio recordings to have fun and inform wildlife conservation, check out this podcast!

I talk with Soundproofist about my work as a tech design researcher, investigating how to create enticing tools for exploring audio recordings. How might eliciting creativity improve the identification of species calls (i.e. data quality)? Why talk about a Rorschach (inkblot) test? How were acoustic sensors chosen over camera traps to investigate Eastern bristlebirds? Find out answers to these questions and more via the podcast. Also, feel free to sing out with feedback here or via my podcast twitter thread!  

Happy listening!

Cheers,

Jessie
