Big Picture Science - Skeptic Check: Busting Myths with Adam Savage
ENCORE: Can
an opera singer’s voice really shatter glass? Can you give your car a
rocket-assisted boost, and survive the test drive? How do you protect
yourself from a shark attack? Those are among the many intriguing
questions and urban legends tested by the MythBusters team in front of the
camera.
Now
that the series has ended after a 16 year run, co-host Adam Savage tells us how
it all began, how he and Jamie Hyneman walked the line between science and
entertainment, and why he considers himself a scientist but not a “skeptic.”
Also,
he reveals the location of the episode, “Duct Tape Island.”
Guests:
- Adam Savage - Former co-host and executive producer of MythBusters
