This week, we're going right to the source. The one and only Adam Savage joins Cliff and Harrison for the first (but not the last?) time to talk his memories of the show we all love. It's a dream come true for our hosts as they pick Adam's brain on the origins of Mythbusters, how the show evolved, and what he thinks made it so special. Plus: Were those really convicts in the back of the deli?! It's the perfect cap to an incredible season of Mythbusting on this week's Try This at Home!
Catch the video version of this episode on our YouTube page. Try This at Home will return in January of 2025. In the meantime, we wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season full of warmth, love, and of course... Mythbusters!
CORRECTION: In this episode, Adam identifies Peter Heap as the cameraman who missed the epic shot of the collapsing scaffold. It actually wasn't Peter. It's been 20+ years, these things happen. But to learn about many of the awesome things Peter DID do, check out his episode of the podcast, airing in April of 2025!
