I just love this piece! As a natural sound recordist, and as an aspiring teller of ecological stories, this moves me! Makes my heart both sing and ache! Beautiful!

  • "The Loneliest Creature on Earth"
  •  
  • Summary: Whales are highly social and usually travel in groups. So when scientists discovered a whale that seems to swim alone, they were surprised. The whale calls out regularly. And, to our knowledge, no other whales respond. Some people have taken to calling him “the loneliest creature on earth.” Scientists call him “52 Hertz.” Lilly Sullivan produced this piece as part of the Transom Story Workshop.
