s02e01 - What's an Inverted Spectrum???

Season 2, Ep. 1
•

Welcome back to Reductio for a new Season! We'll be releasing episodes sporadically over the next 6-7 months.


In the first episode, Andrew talks with Jonathan Cohen of UCSD about the Inverted Spectrum possibility: the possibility that we might have totally different experiences of the colors around us and we'd never know it!


Editing help by Inverted Spectrum Media's new intern: Xinjian Huang


Special thanks to Jonathan Cohen. Find his book on color here: The Red and the Real.


Special thanks also to Troy Jollimore.
