We shower, we bathe, we apply perfumes and deodorants. We’re cleaner and healthier than at any other point in human history. So it may surprise us to learn that there are 10 times more things living on us than cells in our body. From the flora of our gut to the fauna on our skin and hair, this film explores the wildlife park that is the human body in stunning, microscopic detail – combining the creativity of natural history filmmaking with the charisma of Discovery’s very own Mike Rowe of DIRTY JOBS.

Mike is a busy, busy man these days. But he did manage to squeeze in some time for the folks at FOX News. He dropped by their morning show, FOX and Friends, for an interview. They discussed Dirty Jobs, the skills gap, and a hilarious webseries for Sentinel that I hadn’t heard about.
Until I read this article by Ross Porter, I admittedly had no idea there was a National Tradesmen’s Day. But why not? Everyone deserves their day in the sun. I’m certain Mike Rowe would agree that.
I highly recommend checking out the article in full, but here’s a quick snippet of the article to whet your appetite.
Too seldom do we appreciate America’s tradesmen. The guys who show up when the toilet is overflowing, or the air conditioner quit on a 100-degree day, or the rain is pouring through the kitchen ceiling.
When do we say “thanks” to the tradesmen who build America and keep it running? This year, Sept. 16 is the first National Tradesmen Day. And everyone can participate.
I respect America’s tradesmen — the men and women who work with their hands. They build our homes, roads, businesses and schools. They keep our cars running, our lights on, our water flowing, and so much more. They are the backbone of our functioning nation — and that’s why they deserve a national day of recognition.
Also, be sure to check out the page from Irwin Tools, who has set up a site dedicated to National Tradesmen’s Day.
This may admittedly sound like a strange subject, but over the years, Mike has used his fair share of towels, cleaning his hands of whatever filth and much he’s encountered. As Mike learned recently, freshly cleaned shop towels are actually dangerous to use.
Why, you may ask? Heavy metals.

Tonight, Discovery Channel is airing a repeat of the Date Palm Pollinator episode. At 7pm EST, Mike shows never-before-seen footage while answering viewer mail. Then he travels to Palm Springs, CA where he collects pollen from male date palm pods and pollinates female trees.
