Inside the Black Box, or as we like to call it "Science, only funnier," is a weekly show that attempts to demystify science and technology for people without an advanced degree in science or engineering (in other words - normal people). Your hosts Pete Ludovice and Bill Hunt of the Georgia Tech Engineering Faculty also do stand-up comedy at night.
