I had a rough week at work, and I checked out the show because JV is so joyful. 

The first episode was a bit of a tough watch, only because I am a serious arachnophobe. But I loved his willingness to try things that made him uncomfortable. 

That being said, eating bugs is a no from me, lol. I did enjoy seeing Padma.

I enjoyed the hair episode a lot more. "Is that a sarcophagus?" "No."

All the experts are really enjoying sharing their knowledge, which adds a lot.

The interview with Ayanna Pressley was great.

The episodes are a little brief for the ground that he's trying to cover, but I'm enjoying it so far. I'll check out the rest.

Exactly. How nice is it to escape and watch an informative show?

 

I loved the non binary episode. I'm an old, so I never quite understood what it means for people. I'm always respectful, I ask people their pronouns and use them, I'll support and prop up non binary people, I just don't feel the people I know have the onus of educating me, you know?  Every guest on the show was great, but Alok really resonated with me. When they said "we are poetry" I definitely got emotional. So true and so important.
