Episode notes

There are lessons for vocalists in these kinds of bands how to scream without damaging your vocal cords. I think they have to acquire that ability and scream in a particular way that doesn't damage their vocal cords. But again, if you go to some of those utu vidios, they're clearly techniques that are advocated to minimize and reduce the possibility the likelihood of damage.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for… a brand new, screaming hot episode of Ologies. Be warned *slaps the top of this ep* you can fit so many screams in this bad boy. (Seriously though, there’s a lot of screaming in this episode, it’s probably not the one to gently fall asleep to.) What kinds of screams you ask? We got birds, foxes, caterpillars, movie stars, children, James Bond? YES. What is a scream? Is it the same as yelling? How far can you hear a scream? Why do we scream at concerts? What’s up with primal scream therapy? Join us as we hoot and holler with internationally acclaimed Emory professor of psychology Dr. Harold Gouzoules for the answers to these and so many more of your questions as we learn about the study of that most animal of vocalizations: screaming.
