Episode Synopsis

"L'appel du vide" examines that peculiar moment when standing at a height - the sudden, fleeting urge to jump despite having no intention to do so. From Camus' philosophical explorations to Poe's "imp of the perverse," we trace this phenomenon through literature and psychology. Scientists now understand this as the brain's way of testing boundaries and reinforcing safety - a neural misfire that serves as protection. Through immersive soundscapes, we follow this sensation from physical precipices to metaphorical edges in contemporary life, revealing how these momentary glimpses into the void might be among our most honest human experiences.
