Sounds of downtown Vancouver: Canucks Stanley Cup Finals, Game 5 by johnbollwitt

While it’s not a podcast episode, here’s something to fill your ears. I’ve been putting my iPhone on the balcony to record sounds of downtown Vancouver as we push deeper and deeper into the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Now that we’re into the Finals, the sounds that are coming from within the downtown core has been growing and growing.

The first clip was caught with a handheld mic sitting on our balcony in the west end. For comparison, here’s the other games I’ve been able to capture with just my iPhone.

The further back you go, the sound is noticeably different. Vancouver has gone from cheers to a roar when we score or win. With just one more game to go, this city is ready to explode.
