Fun fact: We’re great pals with the boys over at the Dinner Party Download.

The DPD’s Brendan Newnam helped us to curate our Big Sur Sound and Story outdoor audio series way back in 2014. And the DPD provided us a night’s worth of wonderful content during that glorious series.

Well, now they’re taking their show on the road.

Coming June 23rd, “Look Up and Listen!” is an hour-long audio odyssey designed to reacquaint the busy human with the wonders of nature! Hosts Rico Gagliano and Brendan Francis Newnam– two hopeless city slickers–will stumble their way through the woods (and ultimately into space, and around the world) gleaning wisdom about the great outdoors from unexpected sources: Neil deGrasse Tyson, Feist, Fleet Foxes, a talking wolf named Karen, and more.

This aural adventure is meant to be experienced OUTSIDE, so grab your favorite audio player, pack a night picnic, lay out a blanket…and look up and listen.
