A haunting sound produced by sand dunes at only around 30 sites in the world has proven a mystery for centuries. That is, until Caltech professor Melany Hunt began taking groups of students into the desert to finally figure it out.

One of my favorite podcasts to listen to can’t wait for when new episodes come out
Love the pod. Question though, why not include the sound of the booming sand during episode 4? I may have missed it but it seems like an easy thing to add. I’ve never heard it before and had to go look up a national park service video to hear. Weird sound!
I found the first couple episodes very interesting. This podcast is great to listen to while remaining engaged rather than just having it on in the background.
Update: I really liked episode three’s more conversational style. I’d love to hear more like it in the future
This pod is great. I have been a real engineering fan for a long time, and since I’ve found this, I’ve seen more real science. The diving episode was really great, but I wish they’d gotten Brian and one of the people who helped design saturation diving equipment. It’d be pretty cool for him to talk about how exactly it works.
A bit redundant since I already follow on YouTube, but I found the bits of added content valuable, and the overall flow and engagement of the cut very enjoyable to listen to.
Awesome story telling
Keep up the great work: both on YouTube and here!
The shot right to the core of an industry challenges.
With lithium-ion batteries alternatives topic (:
👍
I’m sorry, if I missunderstood you, but in the first episode, Donald Sadoway he cared about the people, about giving back. I wondered wether he knew how the lithium is won, what conditions the people in the specific regions live on, how it affects them and the environment. As I said, that statement got me thinking, and, if you don‘t mind, maybe you could explain to me, how the batteries are being produced without doing harm, neither to the environment, nor to the people living there.

I’ve been a fan of Bryan/Real Engineering for years and more recently Stephanie/Real Science. Very excited to see you both get into the podcast game. Keep up the great work and covering great highly relevant topics.
Would love to see you take on Small Modular Reactors and other nuclear technology here.
Cheers!
A nerdy engineer
Really looking forward to whatever topics are chosen for this podcast. A brilliant and insightful listen, and very well produced
It’s hard to find this level of detail and thorough non biased research. Thank you for taking the time to do the research, interviews and curating valuable content.
I like to know what science and technologies are being developed and what companies are working on. Understanding these building blocks can help us take action in building a better world.
Thank you.
It takes public awareness to kill or drive key technology. I grew up with the Kennedy Space center in my backyard and watched as a child the Apollo spacecrafts leave for the moon. I was bewildered by how such enormous success went nowhere. A handful of newscasts sunk the program and all the blood sweat and tears that went into it. Had an more informed program been available like ‘Modulus’ perhaps a more sensible use of what we made of Apollo could have happened. Here’s to your success.
Have been a fan or Real Engineering channel for years, cant wait to see how this series develops
I love Real Engineering and so this automatically gets 5 stars. I haven’t listened to anything yet but I’m still super excited.
I have in the last year only discovered Real Engineering and Real Science, but in that time found the due engineering diligence I had been missing from investing and popular science portals. I cannot recommend the awesome balance of excitement for the future and the needs of today except a few other outlets.
