NPR reports on the reconstruction of King Richard III’s voice using his skeleton and a digital avatar. The hosts dismiss the report as "bull crap," noting that the "90% accuracy" claim is based on a casting call for an actor with the right facial proportions rather than actual scientific audio recovery. They mock the idea that people were "weeping" at the museum exhibit.
