The part at 13:30 - Recording memories with 'Remember This' – what a beautiful initiative! Capturing stories of loved ones is priceless. This is how we preserve the essence of humanity.

This talk really resonated with me, it made me feel nostalgic and think of old stories I've heard from my parents and grandparents.

[Elusive-Khan]

Some really interesting insights! I particularly enjoyed the idea of spatial audio, virtual reality for the ears sounds amazing!!

Your trip down the radio's memory lane brought back so many memories! The Golden Age of radio, the thrill of recording mixtapes—I'm right there with you. It's refreshing to hear someone championing the enduring magic of audio.

I love this!! So many people have lost track of what matters when it comes to storytelling. Great Talk :)

There is such a difference between going on an auditory journey compared to a full audio/visual... like I would much prefer to lie down with my headphones and listen to an audiobook and let my mind drift than say watch a movie.... I don't know it's like it frees up your mind to just wonder and clear your thoughts

[pengzhou]

This is really interesting because atm we are so dominated by visual stimuli...

[hadlieghbaxter]

It makes me feel sad that there even needs to be a TED talk explaining this to people.

[TheRealShinedownShimmy]

I appreciate her passion and what she's saying but there is so much misinformation in the world, I can't help but think how people would use storytelling to their advantage in pushing agendas and propaganda
