Sounds
26 April 2011

It seems obvious, but at the Doppler Effect we're kind of obsessed with the way things sound.  Since it's the end of the semester, and we're tired, we decided to give in and do a show about them.  You'll hear us explain what the Doppler Effect actually means, how cochlear implants work, and what noise pollution might mean for you.  In between you'll hear me ramble about some of my favorite sounds. Listen here.

Oceans
19 April 2011

Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink.  That poem doesn't really have anything to do with this week's show, but it is set on the ocean, which is our theme! Sarah and Rose have your stories for this week.  Sarah went to the aquarium, saw some cow nosed rays, and tells us about dolphin populations.  I went the paranoia route and talked to someone who researches all the different marine microbes that can kill you, or at least make you pretty sick for a few days.  In between we talk about mola molas. Enjoy!

Sleep
12 April 2011

By the time our show airs, at 7:30pm on Tuesdays, I've already had at least two cups of coffee in an effort to beat back the eternal nemesis of productivity: sleep.  On this show, Katie and Boris dig a little deeper into a graduate student's biggest rival. Listen here.

Google
5 April 2011

Chances are, you use some kind of Google product.  Whether it's a phone, a browser, or just plain old boolean searching, Google is all over the place.  The Doppler Effect team took a closer look at the company, and what they've been up to recently. Listen here.
