A New Year, new opportunities for mystery, science, poison, toxicology, adventure, mystery...wait, I said mystery...it's the Poison Boy Podcast! Back from holiday hiatus! It's all Venomous Media Review this week, with discussions of the HBO documentary "Dope Sick Love" as well as the Natsuo Kirino crime thriller "Grotesque" and a story about the worst college roommate in the world and his band, the Velvet Underground. Let's go, we are a already a week into the 2016!

Poison Boy sits down in the pouring rain with cigar and beer in hand around the pit of truth to interview a true American hero - the Cobra.

Poison Boy is back - a day late but never a dollar short. Remembering the life and music of Scott Weiland and Stone Temple Pilots and gate-crashing the weekly toxicology rounds with 2 attractive and beautiful medical students and a brilliant and loquacious emergency medicine resident. We talk the heck out of carbon monoxide in all its forms and presentations and permutations, along with some jokes, out of context movie references, a discussion of Ramadan and Eid and so much entertainment that it took an extra day to put it all together. Let's dig in!

Poison Boy is relentless and determined to bring you the best infotainment with the best podcast in the world. The phenomenal Dr. Tammi Schaeffer drops knowledge bombs like napalm all over the place and discusses the carbon monoxide experience in Northern New England. Then Poison Boy relates his experiences with Earth and Fire Erowid of the world famous Erowid website and we wrap up the excitement with an exploration of the 27th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre. What are you waiting for?!

Poison Boy back in action! The Safety Rangers rally round the people of Paris on this terrible night of terroristic horror. We discuss a confusing and challenging case of an unusual clonidine overdose, then recount some adventures in the Philadelphia Medical Examiner's office while discussing "Solved" in the Venomous Media Review and wrap up the whole affair with a discussion of friggatriskaidekaphobia or fear of Friday the 13th. All this excitement and the theme from S.W.A.T.! What more could an adventurer want from a podcast?!

Poison Boy is back - shot out of a cannon with a raging hangover but determined to make the post. With Safety Ranger Big Dog, we discuss the heck out of the whole Spice, K2, Loud synthetic cannabinoid mess, dropping knowledge bombs right and left. The Venomous Media Review focuses on BEHIND THE BEAUTIFUL FOREVERS by Katherine Boo and the use of Eraz-ex by the inhabitants of a Mumbai undercity and even with all that, we still have time to talk about Movember, spruce beer, George Takei, Howard Stern, ALLEGIANCE on Broadway all wrapped up in the gorgeous guitar work of Bahamas. almost makes the hangover worthwhile.

Poison Boy is back from a self-imposed exile and what a return! Doubling the drop-down on Halloween with a new podcast, a new website and a whole new determination to find the answers because the truth is out there...or is it? Interviews with Dr. Leslie Dye, the President of the American College of Toxicology and Dr. Adam Rowden and his tactical strike force of toxicologic ninjas. A Venomous Media Review of "BLACKOUT" by Sarah Hepola and a Halloween poisoning story to chill your bones. All this wrapped up to the creepy soundtrack of the world famous Bollock Brothers. Poison Boy - how did we survive without him?

Poison Boy rarely has to devote all his attention to a single issue, but the story of Chris McCandless and INTO THE WILD is one worth learning and sharing. The publication of a purely scientific analysis of the biochemical composition of Alaskan Wild Potato seeds by Jon Krakauer has led us to dive deep into the lore and mythology of "Alexander Supertramp", his journey of self-discovery and his sad, tragic death. In addition, This Week in Tox History covers the Ides of March and the death of Ceasar, Billie Holiday's bad and good behavior, St.Patrick - past, present and future, the invention of hemodialysis, the Pillsbury DoughBoy (no relation), the Micturating Stones, the Clash and the crash of Teddy Pendergrass, mutiny on the Mississippi, the Japanese sarin subway attack, the Rosenbergs and the agony of defeat, among many other things.

Poison Boy battles technical glitches of all sorts as he struggles through an overnight shift sleep deprivation hangover on (of all days) St. Patrick's Day to get the truth out for the Safety Ranger Corps of Cadets. All in a day's work for our intrepid hero. Poison Boy talks turkey about the dog poisoning controversy at Crufts Dog Show, then he is joined by Mrs. Poison Boy and they talk all things poisonous and deadly from the Far East. The venomous media review (VMR) is an analysis of the great 1995 film ONCE WERE WARRIORS and we round out the podcast with This Week in Tox History and all the usual suspects make an appearance including the McCartneys, Jim Morrison, Grace Slick and Led Zeppelin, but our cast of characters this episode also includes everyone from Henri Becquerel to Ryutaro Hashimoto and Albert Einstein. We do it all to the joyous and beautiful beats of MY LITTLE LOVER and their great song "Shiroi Kite."
