Not exactly "heavy breathing," I mean, it is NPR. It would be like hearing your parents heavy breathing, or your grandparents. So it's not heavy breathing, more like earnest and civilized breathing. Public radio breathing. Anyway, an artist named Chuck Jones from Chicago has created a sound piece where he pulled just the inhales of an hour of All Things Considered . I've listened to the show for so long, I swear I can tell the difference between the inhales of Robert Seigel and those of Melissa Block . & See if you can tell.

P.S. & It's kind of gross to hear mouth noise. &

P.S.S. I realize this is & the ultimate time waster.
