Academy Award®-winning composer Michael Giacchino returns to Dolby Creator Talks to discuss his bold and emotional score for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” In this in-depth conversation with guest host Jon Burlingame, Giacchino shares how he approached scoring one of Marvel's most iconic franchises, including how he balanced moments of sweeping sincerity with all that pulpy fun.“All I could think of in my head was like, if I took ‘The Right Stuff' and if I took the Disneyland Electric Light Parade and smashed them together… that's gonna give us our ‘Fantastic Four' music. And so I went right to town, over a year ago, on this theme. Which is something you never, ever get to do as a composer. It's so rare that you get to write a piece of music so early on.”—Michael Giacchino, Composer, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”Be sure to check out “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” now playing in theaters and Dolby Cinemas® in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Check out Michael Giacchino's previous appearances on the Dolby podcast: - War for the Planet of the Apes - https://youtu.be/IMoypCm9pEc - The Sound and Music of The Batman - https://youtu.be/uZ_3Kdm_ZhE - The Making of Marvel's Werewolf by Night - https://youtu.be/vVALDtPJyss Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

It's not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what's left, it starts to look like a crime scene: decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape.

Composers John Murphy and David Fleming join guest host Jon Burlingame to discuss their original score for “Superman,” directed by James Gunn. In this two-part conversation, Murphy and Fleming share their personal connections to the character, the emotional and thematic goals of the music, and the creative process of scoring an iconic superhero story for a new generation. They also reflect on the legacy of John Williams's original theme and how it influenced their approach.“Everyone who works in film music reveres John Williams, and that score is kind of a gem of film music. So to be asked to explore the DNA of that theme was a privilege, but definitely a humbling privilege. You are confronted with this truly iconic theme… But at the same time, there still felt like there was a lot to explore within the confines of that theme… I remember, I was having a meeting with James [Gunn] and I said, the part of the John Williams theme that always really touched me is the end… There's something about it that's hopeful. Really, really hopeful. And I started playing around with it with some different chords, and I could tell James was getting sort of moved by it. It felt like we were discovering something and finding something new that fit his Clark Kent and his Superman, as well.”—David Fleming, Composer, “Superman”Be sure to check out “Superman,” now playing in theaters and Dolby Cinemas®, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

We're on Patreon! Find us at https://www.patreon.com/AudioUnleashed This week, Dennis and Brent wonder why Stereophile killed the comments section on their website (besides the magazine's desperate quest to deprive Audio Unleashed of a reliable source of entertainment). Next, they speculate about how juicy a deal reviewer Cameron Oatley got for voicing Warwick Acoustics' $38,000 APERIO GoldenSound Edition headphone system, and discuss what it might be like to have their own endorsement deal. (Audio Unleashed fuses, anybody?) They conclude by trying to figure out what Apple's new immersive audio standard does, why Apple did it, and whether Dolby Laboratories will survive being piled on by Apple, Google, and Samsung at the same time.

Director Gareth Edwards returns to Dolby Creator Talks to discuss “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” the latest installment in the iconic dinosaur franchise. He and his sound team share how they crafted the film's breathtaking sonic landscape — along with the challenges of an accelerated production schedule, and why that constraint ultimately proved creatively liberating.“Normally, on a movie like this, from the day you first get contacted… to the day you go, ‘OK, we're finished,' it's about two-and-a-half years. And this was a year-and-a-quarter! Jabez [Olssen], who's our editor, he put a quote on the door of the edit suite… It was [from] Leonard Bernstein, and it said something like, ‘Art is when you have a plan but not quite enough time.' And there was something about that idea of when there isn't time to mess around — you can't experiment like crazy, you gotta go with your first gut instinct — something interesting happens. And I'm half-tempted now, in all future contracts to make another film, to ask, ‘Whatever schedule you're considering, can you just halve it?'”—Gareth Edwards, Director, “Jurassic World: Rebirth”Joining today's conversation: - Gareth Edwards - Director - Tim Nielsen - Sound Designer and Supervising Sound Editor - Bjørn Ole Schroeder - Supervising Sound Editor - Pete Horner - Re-recording MixerBe sure to check out “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” now playing in theaters and Dolby Cinemas®, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

Das erste binaurale Mundart-Hörspiel der Schweiz. Und zugleich der Abschluss der «Appenzeller Trilogie» von Rebecca C. Schnyder. Acht Jahre nach der ersten Annäherung und drei Jahre nach einer Liebesnacht in «Dune am Meer» sehen sich Julia und Martin wieder auf seinem Hof «Öber em Tal». Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will:  Freitag, 18.07.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 1 Wieder ist es Sommer, wieder fährt Julia hinauf zum Bauernhof von Martin, den sie von Kindesbeinen an gekannt hat. Was ist noch vorhanden von der Liebe, die zwischen den beiden Erwachsenen entflammt ist? Einer Liebe allerdings, die sie bisher weder leben konnten noch wollten. Ist jetzt der richtige Startpunkt für eine gemeinsame Zukunft? Aber da ist noch Marlis aus dem Thurgau, mit der Martin zusammenlebt. Und auch Julia ist nicht mehr allein … Es ist eine Art Langzeitbeobachtung, welche Rebecca C. Schnyder mit ihren beiden Figuren Julia und Martin anstellt: drei Treffen in acht Jahren, drei Hörspiele. Nachdem die ersten beiden Teile noch im ehemaligen Hörspielstudio auf dem Basler Bruderholz produziert worden waren, hat sich das Team dieses Mal auf einem ehemaligen Hof über der Gemeinde Rehetobel/AR getroffen. Dort sind alle Szenen direkt vor Ort aufgenommen worden – und zwar zum ersten Mal integral im neuartigen binauralen Verfahren. Das Resultat ist ein immersives Hörerlebnis: Wer sich «Zmittst drin» über Kopfhörer anhört, befindet sich tatsächlich mittendrin in der 360-Grad-Szenerie, eingebettet auch in die Weiten und Tiefen der voralpinen Landschaft über dem Bodensee. Dazu hat Martin Bezzola erstmals Musik in Dolby Atmos komponiert, welche den faszinierenden binauralen Klangraum um eine zusätzliche Dimension erweitert. ____________________ Mit: Jeanne Devos (Julia), Philipp Langenegger (Martin), Lotti Happle (Marlis), Henry Kellenberger (Thilo), Melchior Kurath (Traktorfahrer) ____________________ Tontechnik: Roland Fatzer – Komposition: Martin Bezzola – Dramaturgie und Regie: Reto Ott ____________________ Produktion: SRF 2021 ____________________ Dauer: 50'

Norman Greenbaum gave the world "Spirit in the Sky," one of the greatest records ever made. He chats with us about his iconic classic, as well as other musical adventures and misadventures over the last few decades. PART ONE: Paul and Scott chat about Instagram, artist accessibility, and what the heck Norman Greenbaum looks like. PART TWO:Our in-depth conversation with Norman GreenbaumABOUT NORMAN GREENBAUMNorman Greenbaum might be known as a one hit wonder, but that one hit is one of the most wonderous records to ever hit the airwaves. With its infectious groove and unparalleled fuzz tone guitar, “Spirit in the Sky” was recorded in San Francisco in 1969 and quickly climbed to the Top 5 in the US and number 1 in a half dozen countries around the world. It has been certified double platinum for sales of over 2 million, and is among Rolling Stone magazine's “500 Greatest Songs of All Time.” It has reached #1 in the UK in three different decades by three different artists and has been covered by everyone from Elton John to the Blind Boys of Alabama. After his debut LP, Greenbaum went on to release the albums Back Home Again and Petaluma in 1970 and 1972, respectively. Though he gave up recording in the early 1970s, “Spirit in the Sky” remains one of the most popular songs of all time. With nearly 600 million streams on Spotify alone, it has been featured in films such as Apollo 13, Oceans 11, and Guardians of the Galaxy, and in commercials for American Express, Chase Bank, Nike, and Budweiser. To celebrate the song's legacy, Craft Recordings has recently released a brand-new Dolby Atmos mix of the single as well as a new vinyl release of the long out-of-print Spirit in the Sky LP, cut from the original tapes.

When director Joe Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer set out to make “F1,” their goal was to create the most authentic Formula One film ever made. Recorded in person at Skywalker Sound, this episode features the sound team behind the film, who share how they brought that vision to life. They discuss the extraordinary lengths they went to in order to craft a visceral, true-to-life experience for racing fans and everyday viewers alike — while also highlighting the invaluable support they received from the production and the film's director, Joe Kosinski.“I would say Joe is the grand master at giving us these opportunities [to succeed]. God bless him, because he gets it. He knows you can't just say, ‘I want this to be an authentic Formula One movie — figure it out.' He was like, ‘We're going to start early. We're going to give you whatever resources you need. And everything is going to be 100% perfect.' And he's not like, ‘This has to be perfect.' It's just, ‘We're going to do this together. What do you need? I'm going to help you. Let's get going.'”—Al Nelson, Supervising Sound Editor, “F1”Joining today's conversation: - Al Nelson – Supervising sound editor/sound designer - Juan Peralta – Re-recording mixer - Gary Rizzo – Re-recording mixer - Gwendolyn Yates Whittle – Supervising sound editorBe sure to check out “F1,” now in theaters and Dolby Cinemas®, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

What happens when a guitar wizard stumbles face-first into Hollywood? JD Simo is back, and this time he's not just laying down licks. He's coaching movie stars, babysitting vintage synths, and fixing million-dollar screwups the prop department didn't even notice. He walks us through how a phone call from producer Dave Cobb turned into a full-blown creative rescue mission on two major films: the Elvis biopic and the upcoming Bruce Springsteen flick. Along the way, JD accidentally invents a job, teaches Jeremy Allen White to fingerpick from zero, and nearly loses his mind syncing fake guitar playing with Dolby Atmos perfection. We're talking full-set nerdery. Telling Oscar winners their mic stands are in the wrong place. Sneaking into “video village” and somehow not getting kicked out. And yes, it all started because this man cares about the details. If you've ever screamed at the TV because the guitarist's amp wasn't even plugged in, this one's for you.

On this week's show we take a look at some of the most popular products in our homes. And we read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: iOS 26 Brings Video Streaming to CarPlay, But There's a Catch Don't Expect Netflix to Save U.S. Broadcast Networks HDMI Forum To Reveal New HDMI 2.2 Details At Press Briefing Other: Blockbuster Be Kind Rewind T-shirt - Blue Most Popular HDTV and Home Theater and Automation Products On this week's show we take a look at some of the most popular products in our homes. Most Popular Devices What is the most popular TV size in the USA The most popular TV size in the USA is currently around 65 inches, with recent trends showing it overtaking the previously dominant 55-inch size. Data from 2021 indicates the average LCD TV screen size in North America reached approximately 55.5 inches, with expectations of further increases as larger TVs become more affordable and accessible. Consumer purchasing trends and retailer insights suggest 65-inch TVs are now the most commonly bought due to their balance of immersive viewing and suitability for typical living room spaces, with viewing distances of around 5.4 to 8.1 feet for 4K resolution. What is the most popular TV brand in the USA Samsung is the most popular TV brand in the USA, holding a market share of around 28-30% based on 2020-2023 data. It has been the top-selling brand for 18 consecutive years, with 30.1% of the market in 2023, driven by brand recognition, diverse price points, and dominance in both standard and premium TV segments, including a 22% share in OLED TVs. LG follows closely, with the two Korean brands combining for about 52% of the market. Vizio, TCL, and Sony also rank highly, with Sony noted for strong consumer trust and picture quality. What is the most popular home cinema projector in the USA The most popular home cinema projector in the USA in 2025, based on expert reviews and consumer interest, is the Epson Home Cinema 3800. It's widely praised for its excellent balance of image quality, brightness, and value, making it a top choice for home theater enthusiasts. With strong contrast, vibrant colors, and the ability to project a sharp 4K image, it performs well in both dark and moderately lit rooms. Its affordability compared to high-end models like the Epson Home Cinema 5050UB, combined with features like two HDMI ports and easy setup, contributes to its popularity. What is the most popular AVR The most popular AV receiver brand in the USA is Denon, with models like the Denon AVR-X3800H and Denon AVR-X4800H frequently cited as top performers in 2024-2025 reviews. Denon's popularity stems from its optimal price-to-quality ratio, reliable performance, and advanced features like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and 8K HDMI support. Market data is scarce, but Denon's dominance is evident in consumer reviews, sales rankings on sites like Best Buy, and industry reports, with Marantz (its sister brand) and Yamaha as close competitors. Denon's models are praised for versatility, supporting setups with more than three speakers (e.g., 9.4 or 7.2.2 configurations), aligning with the 10-15% of households estimated to have such systems. What is the most popular voice assistant product in the USA Amazon's Alexa is the most popular voice assistant product in the USA, primarily due to its widespread integration into Amazon Echo devices and its compatibility with over 60,000 smart home devices. In 2025, Alexa has an estimated 77.6 million users in the US, trailing Google Assistant (92.4 million) and Apple's Siri (87.0 million) in total users but leading in smart home ecosystem adoption and versatility. Its popularity is driven by features like hands-free control, extensive third-party app integration, and the ability to perform tasks such as controlling smart home devices, streaming music, and shopping online. The Amazon Echo (4th Gen) is particularly noted for its sound quality and built-in Zigbee radio, enhancing its smart home capabilities. What is the most popular video doorbell in the USA While exact sales data is unavailable, the Ring Battery Doorbell and Ring Video Doorbell (2nd generation) are likely the most popular video doorbells in the USA in 2025.  What is the most popular smart switch in the USA The Lutron Caséta is the most popular for its balance of advanced features, no-neutral-wire flexibility, and rock-solid performance across smart home platforms. Its hub requirement adds cost (around $60-$100 per switch plus $80-$100 for the hub), but users value its dependability and customization options. If you're on a budget or prefer Wi-Fi-based switches, the TP-Link Kasa models are nearly as popular due to their lower price (around $20-$40) and hub-free setup. What is the most popular smart plug in the USA TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Slim (EP25) frequently comes up as a top contender for indoor use due to its affordability, feature set, and wide compatibility.  

Composer Rob Simonsen joins guest host Jon Burlingame to discuss his sweeping and emotionally rich score for Pixar's “Elio.” The composer shares how he approached scoring the story of a young boy making first contact with aliens, weaving together emotional warmth, cosmic wonder, and a sense of fun. He also discusses how Dolby Atmos® helped shape the immersive quality of the soundtrack, after being a bit of a skeptic of the technology at first.“Scott Michael Smith, who recorded and mixed the score, said early on that we were going to record in Atmos, and that's really the way to do it… I have to admit, I was a little like, ‘eh, do we need to do Atmos? I don't know.' And then Scott played me some Atmos files… and again, I am not being paid to say this. I was literally blown away… It gave me chills. I mean, I'm not sure what witchcraft is going on to make it as kind of amazing as it is, but I was really sold.”—Rob Simonsen, Composer, “Elio”Be sure to check out “Elio,” now in theaters and Dolby Cinemas®, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

Mix engineer Alex Gamble joins guest host Ben Givarz to discuss the creative and technical process behind mixing FKA twigs' new album Eusexua in Dolby Atmos®. He shares how his immersive mixes in Dolby Atmos enhance the record's intimacy, rhythm, and vocal playfulness — pushing boundaries while staying true to FKA twigs's artistic vision. “At that [early] stage, where I'm assessing the stems versus the master, I'm not trying to go overboard to do an exact match — because things are going to change once I start panning things around. Timbre and transients, and things like that — they change depending on where you choose to pan things in an Atmos environment. Things came in sounding so great. The productions were great: very intimate, very cerebral. Really big scene changes in a lot of these songs… and a lot of glitchy, cool elements too. That's one of the things I latched onto during my first listen… thinking, this is stuff that'll really be interesting to pull into three dimensions and see if I can build upon the production.”—Alex Gamble, Dolby Atmos Mix Engineer, Eusexua by FKA twigs Stay connected! - You can listen to FKA twigs - Eusexua as well as many other classic and contemporary artists in Dolby Atmos, on enabled streaming services. - Follow FKA twigs on Instagram and YouTube - Learn more about Alex Gamble and his studioInterested in creating content in Dolby Atmos?

NOTE: This interview contains spoilers from both Black Mirror: “USS Callister” episodes. Join us as we boldly go behind the scenes of Black Mirror: “USS Callister: Into Infinity,” with the creative team behind the episode. In this panel, the director, composer, supervising sound editor, and VFX supervisor share how they brought the nightmarish galaxy of Robert Daly back to life with bold visuals, cinematic music, and immersive sound, as well as the reasons why this became the very first Black Mirror sequel ever. “It's really tricky when you come back and do a sequel of something. None of us wanted to work on something that was going to be any lesser than the original. And the original is… speaking for myself… the closest thing to a perfect episode. It has such a great beginning, middle and end. And it has such a great conclusion, it feels so wrapped up. Yet it's still a great launching point into a whole new recognizable world. But it's its own IP. And so I always knew that it had the potential to be a series or a sequel. I knew that I wanted to explore these characters in that world even further.”—Toby Haynes, Director, Black Mirror: “USS Callister: Into Infinity”Joining today's conversation: - Toby Haynes - Director - Tom Jenkins - Supervising Sound Editor - James MacLachlan - VFX Supervisor - Daniel Pemberton - Composer Be sure to check out Black Mirror: “USS Callister: Into Infinity,” now streaming on Netflix, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

On the night of August 3, 1991, the cruise ship Oceanos sets sail from South Africa's eastern cape with 571 people aboard—despite a massive storm barreling up the coast. Soon, a breach in the hull knocks out power, and the ship begins taking on water. As senior officers abandon ship, the fate of everyone on board falls to the ship's entertainers, who must lead a mass evacuation before the Oceanos vanishes beneath the waves.Order your copy of the new Against the Odds book, How to Survive Against the Odds: Tales & Tips for Animal Attacks and Natural Disasters, for stories of everyday people confronted by life-or-death situations, showing you how they survived—and how you can too.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Rescue helicopters finally reach the campers, Sue and Bruce, as well as other stranded survivors like TV reporter David Crockett and logger Jim Scymanky. But with nightfall approaching, Sue worries that rescuers won't be able to find her injured friends, Dan Balch and Brian Thomas, in time. With the roads onto the mountain impassible, blocked by trees and debris, rescuers' only chance of reaching survivors quickly is by helicopter. But the thick ash blanketing the landscape makes landing the copters a major challenge — if ash gets caught in the rotors, they risk crashing. Meanwhile, the logging team and the campers who suffered severe burns are in desperate need of medical attention. As their chance of surviving dwindles, camper Sue Ruff faces the repercussions of deciding to leave her friends behind.

On this week's show we look at how the strategies keep changing in the streaming wars. We spend your money and design a home theater system for less than $2000. And as usual we read your email and take a look at the week's news. News: Broadcast Schedule's New Paradigm 75% of Streamers Have Tried an Ad-Supported Plan Google TV users will soon be asked to rate apps Viewers can now add Apple TV+ to a DIRECTV subscription Top Streaming Services Change Up Strategies A Business Insider article suggests the streaming wars have shifted from competition to strategic alliances and distinct priorities. Netflix now prioritizes engagement over subscriber numbers, revamping its homepage with vertical video to rival YouTube and TikTok. Disney focuses on subscriber growth through bundles with Hulu and ESPN, aiming for profitable expansion. Warner Bros. Discovery's Max emphasizes profitability, leveraging high-quality content to retain subscribers rather than competing with Netflix's scale. Engagement is key as streamers build ad businesses. Netflix, with 8% of U.S. connected TV watch time, uses engagement to reduce churn and support its $2.2 billion ad business. Amazon's Prime Video scales ads by enabling them for all users unless they opt out, using shopping data to boost ad effectiveness. While Netflix and Amazon focus on engagement for ads, Disney, Paramount+ (79 million subscribers), and Peacock (41 million) prioritize subscriber growth, though neither is profitable yet. Profitability is critical for WBD, which has cut Max's content spending to focus on financial sustainability, leveraging HBO's legacy content. Its bundling with Disney+ and Hulu supports international growth. Apple TV+ faces high churn due to its limited library, leaving its strategy unclear. As streamers balance growth, engagement, and profitability, alliances and niche strategies redefine success in a crowded market. Home Theater System for under $2000 Ok so you bought a house and spent all your money but you already had a 70” TV from your previous home. And while that has been great you want something more out of your TV watching experience. Somehow you scrape together a $2000 budget and want to know what kind of “Home Theater” System you can cobble together to provide you with immersive surround sound. For this exercise we are assuming a typical living room (e.g., ~15x20 ft) and a focus on movies and general entertainment. We will emphasize value and performance while keeping the setup beginner-friendly. Key Considerations Room Size: Our medium-sized living room can benefit from a 5.1 or possibly a 5.1.2 (Dolby Atmos) setup for surround sound. We have chosen to stay with a 5.1 system for budget concerns. Priorities: Clear dialogue, deep bass, and immersive surround effects are key for movies and gaming. Music performance is secondary but still considered. Components: You'll need an AV receiver, speakers (front, center, surrounds), a subwoofer, and a streaming device.  Setup: We opted for wired speakers for reliability and cost savings over wireless systems, which can eat into the budget. Recommended System AV Receiver: Denon AVR-S760H 2021 Model  ($500 from Amazon) We are on a budget so a 2021 model that does everything you need for a small family room on a budget is absolutely the right call here. Don't overlook last year's models on your A/V equipment. No one will walk into your house and whisper about last years (or four years ago) model behind your back. This is a 7.2-channel receiver with 75W per channel, supporting 4K/120Hz, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and room calibration (Audyssey). It's versatile, beginner-friendly, and handles modern formats for movies and gaming. 6 HDMI inputs (3 with 8K support), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and HEOS for streaming. Refurbished units can save even more. Speaker System: RSL CG3M 5.1 home theater system ($850 Direct from RSL) We splurged a little on the speakers. The CG3Ms will not disappoint! We have been fans of RSL since we had Joe Rogers on the show about 15 years ago. He is a musician and understands what music is supposed to sound like and has designed speakers with that in mind.  This compact speaker system will put you right in the middle of a concert or movie! You really can't get better at this price. The 300 watt 10” subwoofer is plenty for your small to medium sized family room.   Speaker Wire and Cables: Monoprice ($50 Budget) Pretty much from day one we have been saying buy good cables but don't spend a lot of money doing so. $50 at Monoprice goes a long way for your Speaker and HDMI cables.   Streaming Device: ($150 Budget) A streaming device enhances your home theater by providing access to all kinds of entertainment options, including Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+,and YouTube. These dedicated streaming devices offer faster performance, regular software updates, and broader app compatibility. They also support advanced features like 4K HDR, Dolby Atmos, and voice control, elevating your viewing experience with superior picture and sound quality. Additionally, devices like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Apple TV are portable, affordable, and easy to set up, making them a versatile upgrade for any home theater, regardless of your TV's age or brand. Sales Tax: $90 - $150 Unfortunately we can't forget the tax man. There are a few places in the US that do not have a sales tax and other areas range from 6% up to 10%. Total Cost: ~$1,640-$1,700 This leaves ~$300-$360 for a programmable remote, Atmos, or height speakers. Or a year of a new streaming service.  This system balances cost, performance, and future expandability, delivering an elevated experience for your new home without breaking the bank.

The survivors of the Mount St. Helens eruption find themselves in an alien world, with toppled trees, mudslides, and thick, hot ash covering everything. Unsure when or if rescue is coming, campers Sue Ruff and Bruce Nelson must make a difficult decision: whether to stay with their injured friends, or leave them behind, in order to get help faster.

When Mount St. Helens erupts, Sue Ruff and her boyfriend Bruce Nelson are camping with four friends about 14 miles north of the volcano. They were told this was well out of range of any eruption, but soon they find themselves caught in a searing-hot cloud of ash and debris, fighting for their lives.

In March 1980, after 120 years of dormancy, the volcano Mount St. Helens in Washington State begins showing signs of life. Scientists warn that a major eruption is coming, but they're unable to completely block off access to the mountain. Some locals, like lodge owner Harry Truman, refuse to leave. And on May 18, when the volcano finally explodes, 150 people are caught in the deadly path of destruction.

It's March 10, 1979—24 days since their sailboat sank and 15 days since Elmo and Randy arrived at a remote cabin, trapped, powerless to save Cindy and Jena, and consumed by guilt and grief. Once they regain their strength and the snow begins to melt, they discover an old skiff on the beach. At last, Elmo and Randy set out to find the girls, and their way to safety.Pre-order your copy of the new Against the Odds book, How to Survive Against the Odds: Tales & Tips for Animal Attacks and Natural Disasters, for stories of everyday people confronted by life-or-death situations, showing you how they survived—and how you can too.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
