THE SIGNAL
It's hard for those of us with our senses intact to imagine a world of blindness, or deafness. Steven Frank has learned to live with both, and we hear his thoughts on survival and our fundamental human instinct to stay connected to the world around us.
We pay a visit to Mobtown Studios, a local recording studio that combines the warm, friendly atmosphere of a friend's living room with a professional work environment.
We explore the notion of 'sacred space' in the African Diaspora when we talk with a documentary photographer who's traveled far and wide. Anthony McKissic has taken his camera into Pentecostal churches, Cuban Santeria ceremonies, and Haitian Vodoun rituals... and he's found some remarkable common ground.
Plus, we talk with author Sarah Auchenbach and photographer Bill McAllen. Their new book, "Spirit of Place," explores our emotional connections with spaces and places, and the enduring power of memories.
