This is the Voice is a non-fiction book. It looks at how we have become the most dominant specie because of our voice. It explores where the voice originated from and how we can understand sounds before we are even born. It also looks at the voice of leadership and persuasion. Writer at the New Yorker and Author of This Is the Voice is  John Colapinto and he joined us on the show this morning.
