Ep 73: Colors of Life — Some Things You Know and Some You Might Not

Join Zach and Rafe for a discussion of everything related to (and some things NOT related to) color.  Starting at the electromagnetic spectrum, the conversation meanders through marine biology, to Ray Charles and Ray Bradbury, to the metric system, to Wayne Gretzky, to candles, to Roy G Biv (and the desire to rename it for Ray Charles!), to the Doppler effect and getting chased by the police, to the redshift in astronomy, to colorblindness and frisbees, to evolutionary biology, to dirt, to bees and butterflies, to Bufnagle-branded honey, to watercolor paints and Play-doh, to Isaac Newton, to subtractive and additive models of color, to refraction, to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, to the plague and gravity and calculus, to donuts, to the color wheel(s), to oranges and the produce section at the grocery store, to hexidecimals, to 24-bit colors on computers, to pointilism, and finally to Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte and Lego.It's a wonderful and whimsical and colorful discussion, albeit a little chaotic and distracted.  But if it weren't it wouldn't be Bufnagle: the Podcast.*****As always, you can reach the Buf at [email protected]*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.  As such, some of you have asked how you can help out.  Well, here's the answer: support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/bufnagleOn this page, you can do a really nice thing like send us a couple dollars to help cover the cost of recording and hosting and microphones and research and all that.  Any little bit really helps!  Thank you in advance!!!
