[CHURCH BELLS]
O’NEILL: This week’s Listening on Earth comes from Albania’s neighbor, Greece, and was recorded by one of our colleagues.
PANDELIDIS: This is Sophia Pandelidis, producer here at Living on Earth, and those were the church bells that woke me up on Sunday morning in Paros, Greece.
O’NEILL: Sophia’s living the ultimate dream of remote work life for the next several months!
[BOUZOUKI MUSIC]
O’NEILL: She also sent along a taste of festive bouzouki music in a café, again on the island of Paros, which is in the Aegean Sea between Santorini and Mykonos.

O’NEILL: To join Sophia and other listeners, please send us your sounds by using any sound recording app on your phone, like Voice Memos or Voice Recorder. And for the best audio quality make sure to stand still for at least two minutes without fidgeting or talking. But of course we do want to hear from you! So be sure to speak clearly and let us know who you are, where you are, what you’re hearing and what inspired you to record the moment. Then you can email the file to comments@loe.org, and we might just use your audio postcard on the air! That’s comments@loe.org.
