Celebrating World Voice Day 2023 with a selection of our favourite podcasts to show that Your Voice Matters.

World Voice Day 2023: Your voice matters

Celebrated each year on 16 April, World Voice Day aims to raise awareness of the beauty and importance of the human voice. We use our voices to navigate our lives, build connections in a rapidly changing world, educate ourselves and others, and create art and culture.

With over 30% of the working population needing to use our voices on a daily basis, having a functioning voice is crucial to a large number of us. But we do not understand the full intricacies of vocal communication – for that we need to study voice science in all its complexity, from bioacoustics to physics and beyond.

At ResearchPod we believe in World Voice Day’s 2023 motto: Your Voice Matters, and therefore have curated a selection of interviews with researchers who used the medium of podcasting to get their voices and research heard.

Adaptive Heritage: Creative thinking or abandoning our values?

Our world is always changing. Some of those changes, such as climate change or depletion of natural resources, are coming fast, and could have far reaching impacts on nature and culture for generations to come.

Professor Jim Perry of The University of Minnesota describes his work in Adaptive Heritage, and discusses how citizens and governments alike can act now to ensure a future for those fast-vanishing environments.
