Weekly Filet #246: Stepping inside a song. And more.
1. Inside Music (Song Exploder)
A magical extension to a great podcast. While «Song Exploder» has musicians deconstruct their songs and explain how they came about, «Inside Music» lets you virtually step into songs and explore their fabric – the individual sounds and instruments that make it come to life.
2. This tiny country feeds the world (National Geographic)
The world's number two exporter of food, second only to the USA, is...the Netherlands. And it's doing so far more resource-effectively than almost anybody else. A deep dive.
3. How to get to a world without suicide (Mosaic Science)
Every fourty seconds, somebody, somewhere dies by suicide. What would it take to prevent most of those deaths?
4. Why Paris will be the first post-car metropolis (Financial Times)
