Zephyr Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I was very fortunate to be interviewed by the Detroit Free Press, and the story even made the front page! I hope I carried myself in a good manner, and my goal the whole time was to preach the news of roachy goodness! http://www.freep.com/article/20130728/COL44/307280028/cockroaches-Kyle-Kandilian-insects-dearborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windward Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 And bite... possibility of zoonitic diseases, etc. I like how you get a bit carried away and slip in a few words that probably zoom right over the common reader's head. Some of us are exposed to such terminology nearly daily and it can be hard to catch yourself. I know I do it often. Nice mention of low protein diet, too.

happy1892 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Congratulations! Are not the Megaloblatta longipennis the biggest roach known? Not the heaviest though I guess. So did you not find anything better than vaseline? Or are you the one that found out about the vaseline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nirotorin Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Great interview! I think you handled the questions well, and left a good impression of yourself, and roaches. You totally nerded out at the end, but it was nerdyness at it's best. Now a lot more people are aware that individuals like us exist. Yay! I think sometimes we get so caught up in our hobbies that we don't realize how few people have even the slightest interest. I can only imagine what the average person thinks about a $200 cockroach. Well anyway, we may not be as plentiful, or well known, and we may collect creepy bugs, but we're still better than those my little pony people.

ArtBug Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Really GREAT article! It was neat to read the full interview below the video and get to see the gallery of photos. It would be cool if you'd post your private collection of roaches in a "Not For Sale" section on your website so we can see them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanchantress Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Kyle, this article and video was posted on USA TODAY today! You're famous! I am emailing the link to all my friends, saying, "See, I'm not the only person who loves cockroaches!"... hahahaha! Good job! http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2013/08/21/roach-man/2682823/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
