Hey everyone! Today we take a deep dive into microphones, which many of carry in our pockets everyday without even realizing it. In this episode I talk about this magnificent device that I and so many others rely on to be able to manipulate sound! I'll talk about how microphones are truly going to go a long way from the original carbon-based ones to futuristic laser ones, and so much more!

In this episode, we dive into a yet another thing you've probably noticed before but never stopped to think of how they worked. Cell towers are crucial to our daily life, taking over when Wi-Fi cannot. They keep us connected while traveling long distances, exploring remote areas, or just outside in public, where Wi-Fi is just impractical. Hit play to discover how cell towers work and how they may soon be replaced by satellites!
