This week's episode is dedicated to the sound worlds of our cities. While millions of us stay home, a new quiet has suffused our streets. I heard the soft sound of crickets the other night. The birds seem almost to be shouting. And the fog horns of the San Francisco Bay are louder than ever. Enjoy!
