Dining on Decibels

Have you noticed how loud it gets in restaurants these days? Have you found yourselves shouting just to keep a conversation going? Architecture critic Kate Wagner explains how changing design trends have led to dining experiences that aren’t just antisocial, but are negatively impacting our health as well.  

Twenty Thousand Hertz is produced at the studios of Defacto Sound and hosted by Dallas Taylor
