    Can I just say long live Public Access Television!

    I stumbled across this awesome PATV program out of Columbia, MO called “Scientific Station” hosted by a guy named Brendan Craughwell and it was…well… love at first watch.

    With every Tom, Sarah, and Bob out there with a webcam and a YouTube channel uploading random whiny weblogs, stupid practical jokes that only you and your buddy find funny, and  videos of every thought you’ve ever had that we just don’t care about (no really) I really miss the charm and grassroots feel of real PATV. You just don’t get that with all that webcam shtick out there.

    And although some of Scientific Station’s videos only have 12 or 14 views somehow Brendan convinced a brewery to “underwrite” the show. (Whatever the heck that means. Maybe they provide beer and snacks for the cast and crew?)

    I tease…but I really think this is a nice little show and I wish Brendan and his sidekick sAm (yes she apparently does want it written that way…shrug) all the luck in the world in making it to the big time one day.

    Oh and the second bonus video below is an on location shoot and is REALLY fascinating. A frog that freezes and revives itself in spring! Isn’t nature freaking amazing?! What a wonderful world we live in.

    Show a little love

      Finally, someone besides me has actually found this great little show! I love it. It’s refreshingly unselfconscious. You can really tell that Brendan knows his stuff and has a real passion for science. And he has such a sincere, likable presence. I hope this show gets picked up too! I’ve been a fan since the very beginning.

      Couldn’t agree with you more Karen. It’s always fun to watch someone who clearly loves what he’s doing. That’s good TV there and it deserves a wider audience. 🙂

      I was lucky enough to have grown up with Brendan. During our summers off from school we would hang out and basically I spent most of the time being baffled at how and where he came up with all of his genius ideas. His unique and genuine spirit continues to be a major influence on my life to this day.

      Here’s to the future of Scientific Station!!
