A nice segment from NPR about the Loudness Wars
Give it a listen if you have 8 minutes to spare.

Neat story. I usually catch “All Things Considered” but didn’t hear that one.

Yeah, I downloaded the npr app for the iphone and just skim through the stories and read or listen to the ones that are interesting to me.
