Do Squid Need Glasses?

About this episode

Julian and Trace explore the differences between humans and squid, along with the peculiarities of sound in darkness.

This week on the pod, Julian makes a groundbreaking discovery: contrary to popular belief, humans and squid are, in fact, very different animals. One species commonly needs glasses, and the other…sometimes may also need glasses? Meanwhile, Trace tries to figure out if sound could travel slower in the dark, and the answer is yes! As long as you’re okay with being instantly vaporized. 😊 QUESTIONS Julian: “Do squid need glasses?” from Kristine Trace: “Does sound travel slower in a dark room?” from Leroy Do you have an absurd question?
