Tales from the Blender
Mich cooks up stories or brings original takes on traditional tales, served fresh and wrapped around a core of unexpected twists. His stories take you on a humorous journey of epic misunderstanding, tragic betrayal, impossible romance and sublime theft.
Tales from the Blender strings together a series of new stories, old stories with new interpretations or different twists. The stories are interwoven via personal accounts as a scientist, including an audience's favorite--"the infinity mirror." The stories appear unrelated to science, yet each illustrates a scientific principle, method or approach in a fun, engaging way.
