When one goes to work in Chennai, how does the other start his day in Dakar or Venice? What noises accompany the users of public transport around the world? Aboard an Indian train, an Italian vaporetto and a fast Senegalese coach, a sound journey on the roads of three continents.

Listen to the world is a podcast replay radio program, but also a participatory platform dedicated to listening. It archives and provides free access to more than 200 sound recordings sent from all over the world, to be found on The sound map.

“Listen to the world in public transport” was recorded by Christine Guillebaud in Chennai, Michel Créïs in Venice and Monica Fantini in Dakar.
