78a: *Extra Episode - 30-minute SoundscapeEach week on The Planet Reigate Podcast we end with our '60-second Soundscape'.Now, uniquely, we have produced our first '30-minute Soundscape', half an hour of natural sounds from across the Planet Reigate area - birds, ducks, insects and the occasional dog and light plane. No voices. No surprises. Nothing loud.It's 30 minutes of natural sounds from where we live, to relax to, meditate to, to listen to while working, driving or revising. Or just when your head is too busy and you don't want to listen to music, phone-ins or DJ banter. Just set the '30-minute Soundscape' to run, adjust the volume, and bring a little bit of Surrey direct into your ears.Courtesy of The Planet Reigate Podcast .Intro music:SOUNDSCAPE PolkadotFlowersMusic Item ID: 136304431 Listen:           https://linktr.ee/PlanetReigatePodcast Web:              www.ThePlanetReigatePodcast.com Facebook:      www.Facebook.com/ThePlanetReigatePodcast Insta:              theplanetreigatepodcast X (Twitter):    https://twitter.com/PlanetReigateEmail:            Hello@ThePlanetReigatePodcast.com
