It’s time to get absolutely stoked about nature with CBC Gem’s Frick, I Love Nature. Hosted by Edmonton-based Filipino Canadian Gordie Lucius and managed by showrunner Stephen Robinson of Westlock, Alta., Frick, I Love Nature features education and humour in perfect balance. From donning captain’s hats and using toy soldiers to demonstrate wars among ant colonies, to overnighting in a trash can to research the dietary preferences of raccoons, Frick, I Love Nature uses whimsical humour and handmade puppets to bring the wonderful world of Canadian nature to audiences across Canada. Covering a range of topics like animal navigation, camouflage and genitalia, each 20-minute episode is jam-packed with informative facts about wildlife and well-timed and hilarious punchlines. But Lucius and Robinson are not just out to get laughs.
