Josh Bernstein Quotes |
| |
Josh: (about Why Digging for the Truth is the highest rated show on The History Channel) I think it's a combination of things. One is the cinematography. The fact that it is shot in high-definition makes it look just so stunning. Second, the archaeological mysteries---hopefully they're compelling. And third, I think, is the adrenaline component...the diving, the exploring, the going to extremes to bring these mysteries to life
| Josh: (on why he was eger to join the Discovery Channel) There's just a limiting factor given that the network (The History Channel) focuses on the history of things, You're always looking at the past, and my interests are much broader than that.
