Hosted by Jonah Ray.
Welcome the first show that proves how exciting, hilarious, and sometimes dangerous, homegrown science can be. Joe Genius turns the spotlight on some of the best science videos online, from dry ice bombs to robot musicians, and explain why they work...or more often than not, why they don't. Read More
Things heat up as Jonah Ray takes us to the radiating world of the microwave oven. Your mom warned you not to put aluminum foil inside, but how about tossing in a DVD, a bar of soap, or a light bulb? Watch as Joe Geniuses experiment and then flee the scene after fireworks blast and other disasters result.
It's time for Joe Genius: Where backyard science goes BIG TIME. Joe Genius highlights home-grown Einsteins who experiment, tinker, and yes, blow stuff up in the name of science. And it's all caught on tape! Join Jonah Ray as he whizzed through these geniuses' most epic failures and thrilling successes -- and of course, the science behind it all.
You won't believe the hodgepodge of things these Joe Geniuses fire up in the microwave. Plus, don't miss who wins the coveted Joe "Genius" Award for the coolest microwave blast! And always remember, don't try these experiments at home!
