Backyard Science Tv Review
All right, welcome back to a fantastic episode here of The Herd Has Spoken. We're excited to have a gentleman who probably needs no introduction with a flashy Flamingo Hawaiian shirt, but I'll go ahead and give one anyway. So, Kevin Kohler, Backyard Scientist, huge YouTuber, also been featured on TV for those of you who are into TV: Street Science. Kevin, welcome to The Herd Has Spoken.
Well, Kevin, one of the things that I've always admired about you is that you've always done a really good job of not taking yourself too seriously. And you've always done a really good job of not having too much structure sort of burden you down with it with a day to day. So how important is the lack of structure and the free time to you and your creative process?
Um, I would say, it's probably very important for me, that lack of structure, like the lack of schedule, and stuff really allows me to kind of just explore what I want to do without having to be so focused on meeting a certain goal at a certain time and putting all my energy towards that I can be the most creative when I don't have goals.

And will people like the idea, a lot of times I have ideas that I might really enjoy, but they might not translate very well on camera.
I would say, I would say very important, I pretty much do most of my videos have a certain amount of research, like most of my ideas, have, you know, even if it's not a video, I always like to find out how to do something before I do it. And will, yeah, will people enjoy it?

Right on. So for those of you that don't know, Kevin is famous for making science experiments in the backyard. There's a lot that I think people do learn from these experiments.
