Peak to Peak News: What does your town sound like?

On today’s show, we’re launching a new joint segment with Boulder Valley Frequency we’re calling “Sounds of the Town”.  

The Mountain-Ear wants to know: What does home sound like to you? 

We are accepting submissions for Sounds of the Town, a new podcast series that seeks to highlight the sonic signatures of our area: from Allenspark to Idaho Springs, and all the canyons and communities in between.

Tell us what the sound is, where you hear it and what it means to you. We’ll gather the best ideas from each town, then send our audio experts out to record them. 

A different town and sound will be featured each week on The Mountain-Ear podcast. Tune in every Thursday to hear the latest.

When we’ve got the entire Peak to Peak, Gilpin and Boulder County and beyond covered, we’ll pull them all together into a story for readers in the regular, print edition of The Mountain-Ear.

No idea is wrong. If you hear it and it evokes home, we want to know about it.

You can send submissions to tyler@themountainear.com.
