The gurus of how-to, Al and Larry Ubell, answer listener questions about home repair. Then NYC darkroom owners Jim Megargee and Beth Schiffer explain how darkrooms and traditional photographers are reacting to the advent of digital photography. Next, photographer Clifford Ross describes how he created the world’s highest-resolution landscape photograph by combining digital and film technologies. And Pulitzer prize-winning New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd joins us to discuss her first book: Bushworld: Enter At Your Own Risk.
