Yes, I know, it's been a long time since I posted a podcast. I've been very busy here on the moon doing...important things. Let's not discuss it anymore.
PopSci editor Nicole Dyer is obsessed with paint, in particular the new Aura paint from Benjamin Moore. Not only does it cover most colors with only one coat (no need for primer), but it's low in smog-producing VOC's, dries quickly and doesn't stink. Nicole was so excited about it, and her excitement was so infectious, that we both forgot to even talk about the breakthrough chemistry that makes it possible - new and improved surfactants that bond better with pigment molecules. That's how exciting this story about paint is.
I also asked her for an update on the "Red Rain" story from an earlier podcast, but as you'll see, the paint insanity seems to have distracted her from more important things (like aliens)—Jonathan Coulton

I chanced upon your podcast a little while ago and I LOVE it.
I've listened to the whole series and I am really looking forward to #s 38 to ...?
Not only do you have a clever "porte-manteaux" for the show but you add to the magazine's content by giving us the voices of the inventors and writers.
Keep up the great song writing Mr. Coulton.
As a "code monkey" myself, I really appreciate the depth and the humor of it.

I don't like to paint. It takes a lot of time and I am not gifted enough to do it. but it is quite hard that people that they are science related that they do science
