You know you want to learn about television through an audio podcast, so give this one a listen! Learn about the technology that revolutionized the entertainment industry in the 20th century. Learn about the first TV remote control, which was actually wired to the set, and how the remote evolved using different signals to change the channels. Learn how television screens create the illusion of movement by playing back a series of images very quickly, and how they create millions of colors on the screen using the additive primary colors, which are different from the primary colors you were always taught to use when mixing paints in art class. Learn about the longest-running drama in TV history, which actually began broadcasting before television was even invented.
