I ran across this on diyaudio and thought folks here would appreciate it as well.

This is an Australian radio program exploring the low frequencies of music and how much they drive everything. IMO very much worth the time to listen.

Join Cathy Peters as she searches for the low down on low sound from night clubs and car shows to university sound laboratories and CD mastering suites. The 'bottom end' permeates most aspects of music these days; whether it's the vibrating car next to you or the rumble of your neighbour's new sub woofer, you just can't escape it.

Offering all you ever wanted to know about low frequency, high density sound waves, this program explores the good, the bad and the ugly effects of the 'bottom end'. Speakers include acoustician Densil Cabrera, audiologist Chris Whitfield, mastering engineer Steve Smart, sound theorist and practitioner Eliot Palmer, ABC Classic FM recording engineer Jim Atkins and acoustic bass player Lloyd Swanton. First broadcast on Into the Music in 2007, this program won a silver medal at the 2008 New York Radio Festival awards.

Pretty good. My only disappointment is they didn't go into the history of low frequency music. J.S. Bach knew a thing or 2 about the impact of low frequencies in music.
