The Sleeping World: Coastal Foraging with a Brown Bear

Wind down by escaping into nature. Part soundscape and part bedtime story,The Sleeping Worldis an intimate journey through ecologies around the world.Brown bears lead deeply cyclical lives. They need to gain sometimes hundreds of pounds during the warmer months to prepare for winter hibernation, a lifestyle that brings them into frequent contact with many other species’ cycles. In this episode, we meander through the Alaska peninsula with a bear and her cubs as she teaches them to hunt salmon at the falls, dig for clams along the coastal mudflats, and use the regional rubbing tree.This is the world in its natural state, defined by seasons, routines, and cycles. By the time this bear and her cubs are nestled into a thicket and ready to sleep, you will be too.Produced byAudible and Mumble MediaWritten byCara Ehlenfeldt and Jake YoungNarrated byCynthia KimolaExecutive Producers for Mumble Media:Cara Ehlenfeldt and Jake YoungExecutive Producer for Audible:Anna StittSound Design and Mix:Mumble MediaThe Mumble Media teamis Jaymeson Catsouphes, Cara Ehlenfeldt, Chester Gwazda, Liz Mak, Lee Mengistu, Renée Vargas, and Jake YoungBrown Bear Consultant:Dr. Tom S.
