Christy L’Esperance is joined by 8-year-old cohost Andrew, a second grader with a love for games and a curious mind.
The topic of the week is resonance in nature. Here's an example... resonance explains why tiny birds can sound as loud as elephants and why drips of water echo so powerfully in caves.
To demonstrate, they head to Interlochen Public Radio’s Studio A for a hands-on musical experiment where Andrew learns how to “play” the piano with just his voice.
