Kalerrâ

Today on Polar Times we welcome fellow podcaster (and artist and photographer) Chloe Russell to the show to talk about her podcast Kalerrâ.

Kalerrâ is a Greenlandic word which means "the sound of it" and the podcast is full of sounds recorded by Chloe during an trip to Weisboylund in the Northeast Greenland National Park zone as part of an interdisciplinary expedition of scientists and artists. As well as sounds from the field the podcast is full of snippets with interviews from the scientists on the trip (Anne Lydiat, Laura Melissa Williams, Amy Pryor and Wanda Bodnar), music from Ben Imber and narration from Chloe herself, which combine to create an immersive listening experience designed to help the listener feel connected with the remote Northeast Greenland.

Chloe chats to jack about her experiences in the field, the decisions behind releasing Kalerrâ as a podcast and how sounds can be used to foster a greater sense of connectedness than almost anything else.

You can listen to Kalerrâ on Spotify, Apple and lots of other places where you get podcasts from. It has the full Polar Times seal of approval so definitely check it out!
