This week’s interview is with Brian Louden and Jon Lung, the new hosts of Discovery's Mythbusters. Mythbusters, as you probably know, is the popular show that aims to uncover the truth behind myths and legends, by mixing scientific method with ingenuity and experimentation. Mythbusters has taken on the big questions of our time, like Can combining Diet Coke and Mentos make your stomach explode? Is it possible to beat a lie detector test? And Would a bull really cause destruction in a china shop? For this interview, we’ve enlisted staff writers Nick Douglas and Patrick Austin. They’re two enthusiastic Mythbusters fans who are going to ask these guys all about the tools and expertise it takes to find and bust myths.
