Still It - Season 1

Still it is all about chasing the craft of home distillation and making it a legitimate hobby. We discuss things like how to get into the hobby, recipes, techniques, safety procedures and controversial topics. Its not about any specific spirit. Vodka, whisky, whiskey, scotch, bourbon, gin, liqueur, rum and absinth I want to talk about it all. As long as its made with the intention of creating a high quality craft product. Science and geekery is definitely not off limits. In fact I think its something to be celebrated and embraced. So lets get stuck in and see where it can help the world of distilling! Most importantly Still It is about creating a platform to discuss ideas. Embracing a balance between open-minded optimism and skepticism. A place that celebrates new ideas but evaluates them based on fact and research.

Moonshiners

Think the days of bootleggers, backwoods stills and "white lightning" are over? Not a chance! It's a multi-million dollar industry. But perhaps more importantly to the moonshiners, it's a tradition dating back hundreds of years, passed down to them from their forefathers. It's part of their history and culture. While this practice is surprisingly alive and well, it's not always legal. Moonshiners tells the story of those who brew their shine - often in the woods near their homes using camouflaged equipment - and the local authorities who try to keep them honest. Viewers will witness practices rarely, if ever, seen on television including the sacred rite of passage for a moonshiner - firing up the still for the first time. They will also meet legends, including notorious moonshiner Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton.

Science of Stupid

This show combines cold hard science with some of the craziest, most spectacular and painful user generated clips ever recorded. Richard Hammond introduces all manner of mishaps featuring brave, if misguided individuals from around the world and then explains the science behind their failure and humiliation with the use of bespoke animations and super slo-mo cinematography. Every episode features between 50 and 60 clips of misadventure – ordinary folk making extraordinary mistakes. Each week watch stunts involving weightlifting, shooting guns or jumping over cars, that have gone wrong, paused, re-wound, and re-played and analysed to determine exactly what went wrong and why. Richard explains the physics, chemistry and biology at play, then presents forensic details to explain the stupidity that resulted in failure. He’ll look at everything including weight, volume, momentum, combustion and even how the brain operates. This is misadventure explained. This is the Science of Stupid.
