#10 | Dolls That Talk... And Some That Listen #10 | Dolls That Talk... And Some That Listen

Talking dolls have been around for over a century, but the fascination with making inanimate objects seem human reaches back into our early history. What is it about creating a companion that can interact with us, especially for a child, that fascinates us so? And what will that look like as our technology continues to advance? Featuring Carlene Stephens, Curator for the Smithsonian National Museum of American History and Claire Gartland of the Electronic Privacy Information Center

Check out Defacto Sound, the studios that produced Twenty Thousand Hertz, hosted by Dallas Taylor
