In this episode, Michael speaks with Alex Smalley, an expert in Environmental Psychology and researcher at the University of Exeter. Alex's research program explores, in his words, “the cognitive and emotional impacts of virtual encounters with the natural world”. He has collaborated extensively with the BBC in the UK, including in the creation of a wonderful podcast entitled “The Healing Power of Nature”. An important take-away from Alex's work is that virtual experiences with nature can have a positive impact on our well-being, and that this effect is stronger for those with previous experiences with the natural environment itself. This undelies another important lesson, that virtual experiences in nature should be seen as an important complement of but not a substitute for the real world. But with many of us spending most of our time indoors, such a complement can prove to be very important, as Alex explains during the interview.

Some stories have sound at their core. A stand-out example of this is BBC eco-thriller Forest 404, where bird calls haunt the mind of the protagonist and archival sounds are wiped from living memory one-by-one. How can we centre sound in our writing and production? In this episode writer Timothy X Atack and director Becky Ripley tell you how they went about creating this very special sonic world.
