On today\u2019s episode, we\u2019re excited to share an episode from Slate\u2019s Decoder Ring podcast that we think you\u2019re going to love.\nIn the history of viral images, #TheDress has got to be in the top 10. This unassuming photo of a party dress kicked off a global debate when people realized they were seeing it completely differently. Is it black and blue, or white and gold? In today\u2019s episode, we\u2019ll talk to someone who was there when the photo was first taken, and the BuzzFeed writer whose post briefly broke the internet. Then we go down the optical rabbit hole with a neuroscientist who\u2019s been studying the The Dress for years. What does it reveal about the nature of truth?\nThis podcast was written by Willa Paskin, who produces Decoder Ring with Katie Shepherd. This episode was edited by Andrew Adam Newman.\xa0Derek John is Slate\u2019s senior supervising producer of narrative podcasts. Merritt Jacob is senior technical director.\nWe\u2019ll hear from\xa0Paul Jinks,\xa0Cates Holderness,\xa0Pascal Wallisch, and\xa0David McRaney\xa0author of the book\xa0How Minds Change.
