Status: Partially Found
I'll Try Anything Once was an original series for Voom HD's "Treasure HD" channel that premiered in February 2008, hosted by writer Touré.
Due to the niche subject matter and Voom HD's low coverage, very little about the series can be found online. Only one episode out of 13 is available on YouTube.
According to a YouTube commenter, one episode involving go-go dancing.
