Hey listeners, we have a very rare opening for an associate sound designer mixer here at Defacto Sound.

That's my sound design studio and the studio behind 20,000 hurts.

To learn more, visit jobs. de facto sound.

This application window closes on May 22nd.

Now, on to the show.

Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by the ocean, and the creatures that inhabit it.

I mean giant squids, glow in the dark fish, octoply that can instantly change their color and texture, it

sounds more like science fiction than reality.

The oceans cover 71% of the Earth's surface, and almost 95% of the oceans have never been seen by human eyes.

It's like an alien planet, but right here on Earth.

Every year we learn a little bit more about this mysterious world and its complex ecosystem, and that

includes how we humans affect that ecosystem.

Now we did a show about this 174 episodes ago way back in 2017, but a lot has changed since then.

So I wanted to update that episode.

This version has been totally remixed with new narration, new music, and new

information.

You're listening to 20,000 hurts.

I'm Dallas Taylor. The sound you just heard is one of the most mysterious underwater sounds we know of.

It's called the Bloop. It was recorded in 1997 and it's unbelievably loud. The sound was roughly triangulated to be coming from a remote

region of the Southern Pacific Ocean, just west of the tip of South America. The microphones

that captured this sound were over 3,000 miles away.

Could it be a massive undiscovered monster from the deep?
