TV producer, Dave Barsky, talks about Dirty Jobs and its seven seasons featuring dangerous, bizarre, and, yes, even filthy, jobs. The show was fun and sensational, full of vicarious thrills, but also serious in its intention to honor men and women who do these behind-the-scenes jobs that require real skill and training. Some of that came from host/apprentice Mike Rowe who would argue that the US has lost its appreciation for skilled labor. The episodes of Dirty Jobs, from bat caves, sewage plants, termite infestations, fishing on the high seas, radio tower installations, head lice treatments, and snake research, are particularly relevant now as they are put into sharp focus through the lens of the pandemic. An entertaining episode with an inimitable guest.Dave on Twitter:@producerbarskyEpisodes on the Discovery Channel:https://www.discovery.com/shows/dirty-jobsThoughts? Comments? Potshots?
