Sound Ledger¹ (Vishing, Carson)

Audio culture by the numbers

550: The percent at which voice phishing attacks have increased in the past 12 months

60: The number of years since Rachel Carson’s *Silent Spring*, its title relating the decline of bird populations due to environmental issues

22: Number of weeks in a row I’ve now managed to publish This Week in Sound, definitely a personal record
