Jaap tells stories of animals across nature, from bumblebees to chimpanzees, how they use plants and natural substances to treat infections, to ward off parasites, to self-medicate.

The Made for TV Mayhem Show has returned to celebrate what would have been Charles Bronson’s 100th birthday! To help us ring in this – the holiest of holy days – we invited James Newton of Newton Talks to discuss three of Bronson’s lesser talked about small screen appearances: the pilot for Man with a Camera (1958), One Step Beyond ‘s eerie entry The Last Round (1961) and the 1993 cop thriller TV movie Donato and Daughter ! We had a lot of fun, although there were technical woes aplenty, so please be patient with any sound issues or choppy edits. We had to record in “chapters” because of several dropouts. But we gave all of our love to Bronson, and we hope you enjoy it!…

It hasn’t even been a month, and we are back! We couldn’t let the holiday season pass by without inviting our great friend Joanna Wilson of Christmas TV History back for our annual yuletide episode! We spend a little time stuck behind a forcefield with a lovable (but deadly) alien named Glim Gilm, who was a part of the Monsters TV series. And we play the holiday movie game, which is always fun. So grab your eggnog and celebrate the season in style.And a big thank you to everyone who stuck it out with us this year. I know it hasn’t always been consistent, but, like everyone else in the year 2020, we’re doing our best. We appreciate all of you, and hope you have a wonderful end to a not-so-wonderful year! See you next year. It’s gonna look a lot like the 1970s-1990s for us!…
