Mirrors, sequins and glitter: what makes them shine?
b'
Have you ever entered the mirror-verse and heard yourself talking back? Well, that\\u2019s what happens in today\\u2019s episode.
We take a look (pun intended) at how mirrors work and talk to a scientist to find out what color they are. And in a history of sequins, we learn why, for a long time, rain was a disaster for glittery gowns. Not only can you make today\\u2019s Mystery Sound, but you can use it to spiff up your crafts.
All that, plus a Moment of Um about why words start sounding funny funny funny funny funny when you repeat them.
