De vijf smaken van Joël in 2018

In 2014 I featured in the VPRO series “Pieter in de Prehistorie” (in Dutch) where I talked about the evolutionary history of our human body (chapter 7: the prehistoric man).

Up until summer 2018 I appeared in the local news show Avondgasten. View my appearances below (in Dutch)
