Tales of Entomology

This show is about bugs and history, recounting the times they annoyed or impressed us so much we just had to write about them. Each week the show's hosts discuss human-insect interactions through themes such as the history of entomology, the propagation of diseases or pest prevention. It should be instructive and fun (we hope!).

About the hosts: Martin Payette is a biologist who works in wildlife control (and studies journalism). He wrote a master's thesis about insects. Lucie Laumonier is a medieval historian; she published a bunch of articles on the topic and she also studies journalism now.
