The show focuses on the science behind color, why and how we see the colors that we do. One of my favorite parts of the podcast was the music tracks they gathered from musicians based on color.  Give it a listen!

Radiolab is a show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience.  Radiolab is supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, enhancing public understanding of science and technology in the modern world. More information about Sloan at www.sloan.org.
