Totally not book related but your comment made me think of it... Good episode on colors.

The Lightbringer series by author Brent Weeks.

The type of "magic" in this fantasy series is unlike any other that I know of. Light can be split by some people into it's individual colors, 1st book is The Black Prism, and those colors are able to be used/cast in a physical form with each color having specific properties and effects on the person that has the ability to use that color. Green is wild/free, red is anger/impulsive and so on. The prism, god chosen representative, is able to use all colors without limits. Murder, spies, politics, love, plot twists, magic...it's got it all.

The reading is fairly easy and the story is easy to follow. This is, I think, the 4th time I am listening to the series. All of Brent Weeks books have been good...but something about this series is great.

I will second your recommendation of Red Dead Redemption:2.

After hundreds of hours I know there are many things I have not encountered, it's amazing.

My wife, who does not game, watched me playing for the storyline only(like a movie/soap opera) and only complained about staring at a horses rear end occasionally.

Worked great when I moved from Google to Spotify due to YTM. A few songs didn't transfer correctly, a few saved as covers of the original but as they shuffled I'd just manually search them and correct it.

Darknet Diaries- interesting history/current internet crimes and shenanigans

Criminal, Serial and Smartless - mind able to wander while driving but interesting to capture attention if it decides it's better then random thoughts

For long road trips I'll download a bunch of episodes from The Moth. Total crap shoot if it will be the most depressing or thought provoking story.

It's a real shame that Radiolab seems to have fallen so far from these lists.

And 2 more femurs... They show 2 needed but 4 used in the constructed frame.

Rest of the owl I guess...
