The Sleeping World: Evening Serenades with a Coquí Frog

Wind down by escaping into nature. Part soundscape and part bedtime story, The Sleeping World is an intimate journey through ecologies around the world. In the misty Puerto Rican El Yunque rainforest, coquí frogs no larger than your thumb fill the air with their distinctive two-note song: “co-quí, co-quí.” They alternate routines—one night singing to attract potential mates, the next hunting to fuel up for tomorrow’s performance. In this episode, we follow a singer and a hunter amid the vibrant nighttime chorus. This is the world in its natural state, defined by seasons, routines, and cycles. By the time these tiny coquís are ready to let their fellow frogs sing them to sleep, you’ll be ready to sleep too.
