This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Happy Saturday.

This week on unearthed, we talked about Anatolia's oldest known indigo dyed textile, and

that reminded me that once we did an entire episode about the history of the color blue, which,

of course, talked about indigo as a dye.

This one is a live show that we did at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in September of 2019.

And this episode came out on October 16th, 2019. Enjoy.

Welcome to Stuff You Missed in History Class, a production of IHeart Radio.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. I'm Tracy V. Wilson. And I'm Holly Fry. Today we are sharing our live show from the National Gallery of Art Washington, which we did in September as part of their NGA nights programming.

And we actually did this show twice over the course of the evening so that more people who attended that event, which is very popular, could get in and see it.

And so today we are sharing the first of those two.

We're not going to share the second one

because it would effectively be the exact same show.

Hello, and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Tracy V. Wilson.

And I'm Holly Fry.

Blue is my favorite color, and that makes me not special.

Blue is the most popular color in a lot of the world.

For example, there was a survey that was conducted in 2015 that polled people in Britain, Germany, the United States, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia.

And in all of those places, blue was the most popular color by a significant margin.

So I am not alone in the world in my love of blue.
