Cool Stuff Daily

Mon. 11/14 - Polar Night, Midnight Sun, & Fruit Quakes


Listen Later

Polar Night and Midnight Sun. What’s it like living in a place that stays absolutely pitch black for two and half months, and what can we learn from the people who live there? Plus, a new emergency alert system in the US to let you know when an earthquake is nearby. And Mountain Dew’s latest holiday-themed flavor, which oddly enough is a combination of the first two segments today.
