In this episode's off-topic section, Brett talks about the darkest man-made material ever, Vantablack. This super black color consisting of "vertically aligned nanotubules" (giving it the vanta moniker) ignited a small war in the art world and for good reason. Vantablack traps almost all light that strikes its surface leading to eerie visual illusions... and one artist has exclusive rights to use the effect artistically! Josh then continues to keep it dark with the graphic but fascinating book: I, Zombie by Hugh Howey. This is the kind of fresh take on a rotten subject we love to discuss.
