Alice Vincent was a music journalist for many years, which had already started to shift how she listened, but then pregnancy and a deep trauma when her baby was very small led to her relationship with sound fracturing. In her new book, Hark: How Women Listen, she explores how she rebuilt that relationship, and also talks to other women about their experiences with sound and listening.

Our Mick got on the Zoom to talk about the different way sounds land in female bodies, and how we could all be listening more mindfully.

Hark: How Women Listen is available for pre-order now and out on May 1.
