It's Full Color Week, where we’re replaying some of our favorite episodes about color. In this episode from July 2020, we're talking about Vantablack, a color that’s so black it absorbs almost all of the  light nearby. There’s new research out about a “vantafish” that does  almost the same thing to avoid its hungry bioluminescent neighbors.  Plus: you’ve heard of drive-in theaters; Paris is going to have a  “float-in” theater featuring “socially distanced boats” on the Seine.

Back the only podcast that can make a Spinal Tap reference AND a Rebecca Black reference in its first 30 seconds!
