About this episode

ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is a tingly sensation that can bring relaxation, and it's spawned a growing industry of videos online of whispering, tapping, mouth noises and soft speaking. 

But, if you wanted quiet, intimate sounds, well, Nature does it so. much. better. 

Ann Jones goes on an ASMR journey with vibrating caterpillars, whispering monkeys and birds who want to keep secrets.

  • Thanh Sagris, ASMR artist, Melbourne.
  • Associate Professor Rachel Morrison, University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
  • Associate Professor Rindy Anderson, Florida Atlantic University.
  • Associate Professor Mandy Ridley, University of Western Australia.
  • Professor Jayne Yack, Carleton University.

Production:

  • Ann Jones, Presenter / Producer.
  • Petria Ladgrove, Producer.
  • Additional mastering: Russell Stapleton.
