The viral "Yanny vs Laurel" audio clip is analyzed as a function of sound frequencies and individual hearing ranges. A demonstration using filters shows how shifting between low and high frequencies changes the perceived name. The phenomenon's coverage on NBC Nightly News is noted as a sign of a slow news cycle.

The hosts conclude the episode by reiterating their request for listener support at dvorak.org/na.

The show signs off from London and Silicon Valley, promising to return the following Thursday.
