What tree.fm actually is

One button drops you into a field recording made in a forest somewhere in the world, with the location, the contributor and a photograph shown while it plays. Recordings come from the crowdsourced Sounds of the Forest project and the aporee sound map, and another press moves you somewhere new.

Why it is worth your time

Half the pleasure is the caption. You realise you are listening to insects in a Sri Lankan rainforest because somebody stood in it and pressed record.
