In this audio themed show, Judith and Rushali explore tone.js, the javascript audio web framework, built on top of the web audio API. While building potentially the most whimsical hover states of all time, they explore if audio on the web can make a come back, how it relates to the themes in The Social Dilemma (have you seen it? what did you think?),  javascript education and only a tiny bit of politics. Also, our first episode with upgraded Blue Yeti mics - can you tell the difference? ALSO, an open source repository of genuine laughter is born.
