## Resource

Birds, frogs, dolphins, and humans—we're all big talkers. Turtles, on the other hand, are considered to be silent. But are they? In this episode, we challenge what we know about some of our quieter planet-mates. Threshold is nonprofit, listener-supported, and independently produced. You can support Threshold by donating today . To stay connected, sign up for our newsletter . Operation frog sound! Send us your frog sounds for an upcoming episode. We want you to go out, listen for frogs and toads, and record them. Just find someone croaking, and hit record on your phone. It doesn’t matter if there’s background noise. It doesn’t even matter if you’re not sure whether or not you’re hearing an amphibian—if you think you are, we would love to get a recording from you. Please also say your name and where you are in the world, and then email the recording to us at outreach@thresholdpodcast.org Episode links: Gabriel Jorgewich-Cohen Turtle Island
