8: A Nice Quiet Serene Environment

In this episode John and Ben talk about noise. Noise is a big problem. A lot of people tend to overlook it. A lot of people tend to shrug it off like its no big deal. But you only get one set of ears, and once they're wrecked you're out of luck.
With Ben Alexander and John Chidgey.
