I'm Dallas Taylor, host of 20,000 Hurtz, a highly crafted podcast that tells the stories

behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds, whether it's the original

voice of Siri, or secret spy messages on the radio.

If it makes a sound and there's a good story behind it, then I want to tell you about it.

Recently, we broke down the ingredients of the dinosaurs' sounds in Jurassic Park.

He used some crocodile sounds, lions, the below hole from a whale.

We uncovered the controversy behind who wrote the McDonald's I'm Levin at Jingle.

I mean, if we should at least be happy to think that he did the audio logo, then there

must be a bigger problem.

We revealed how the iconic Netflix sound was almost completely different.

I liked the sound of a goat.

It was funny, I thought it was quirky, and it was our version of Leo the Lion.

And so for a while, we were stuck on that goat's sound.

And we learned what it takes to make monster voices for a living.

You have to have a biomechanical plan if you're doing creature sounds.

And that includes anything.

Anything from making my voice higher, or making it more raspy in the back of my throat.

Or having a thing that sounds like it could really clanders floppy.

This year on 20,000 Hertz, we're going back to the drawing board and covering sounds

that I've wanted to explore since the very beginning of this show.

We'll also explore the rise and fall of the bizarre 900 number industry.

Is Elvis alive?
