Care: Lilita Dunska (music for animals, interspecies care)

In episode three of our miniseries on Care, we wanted to look at interspecies care. Is it possible to do genuinely? To explore this question, we talk to recording engineer and cognitive musicology student Lilita Dunska about human-animal music playing practices for non-human animals, online community building through pet playlists, the trend of pet humanization, and critical anthropomorphism.
