Bringing It All Back Home

Bringing It All Back Home goes live on tape from Parvin State Park with Kevin Madden and co-host Gerry Hecht. A special episode on the shape of things to come as spring begins and we mark the changes and challenges of the last year. Upswing included.

Bringing It All Back Home connects with Anthony Jones: He’s a Monster Man, a Creature Maker, a brilliant special effects and make-up effects artist who also happens to be one of the pioneers of Sci-Fi costumes at Creation Conventions and Comic-Cons. Anthony takes us through how he got started, growing up in NYC, new and old projects, and more. 

As a Bonus 4/20 episode co-host Gerry Hecht, Ph.D, takes a timely dive deep into the chemistry and controversy of Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol. This episode does not shy away from the going into the weeds, as it were - breaking down both organic and chemical distinctions of Delta-8. Join us on this unique and trending issue as we explore CBD, Hemp Farmers, and more - especially how Delta-8 is upsetting the regulatory Cannabis scenarios. 

Bringing It All Back Home Season 2 Episode 3 goes deep into selling gear on eBay, camera gear mostly, and what to expect when your supposedly  finished sales are capable of being reversed anytime within 30 days. Moving gear during pandemic hit, slowed-down USPS, getting a buyer who has 2 pages worth of fraud warnings, and learning to go all Marie Kondo on the stuff you just can't let go of.

Bringing It All Home is back! Season 2 launches with a 3am road trip down to Sea Isle City, a night sky of near perfect conditions, and a chance to relearn the basics of Milky Way photography with almost all new gear. 

Join Season Two co-host Gerry Hecht and I as we go live for a podcast "test recording" at Parvin State Park. Is this working?

Bringing It All Back Home returns for Episode 38 - and it’s an exploration of the 1958 rangefinder known as the Konica IIIA. Is this the most underrated classic 50s rangefinder of all time? The mythical poor man's Leica M3? Join today's podcast as your host, Charles, explores how he discovered this neglected but brilliant camera, as well as its astonishing CLA and eBay source.

Bringing It All Back Home returns for episode 37 with another Analog Combo and this time it features the all time classic developer - Rodinal. Combined with Rollei RPX 25, a Minolta SRT 101, the Rokkor 58mm 1.4, and some bright light — the results can be staggering. Join us again as your host, Charles, goes all in on Rollei R09/Rollei RPX 25, as well as singing the praises of Minolta’s groundbreaking CLC metering system. This episode also attempts to unravel the weirdness that is the current Rollei brand, its mysterious relationship with Ilford, and why you might want to hold off using RPX in 120 format.

It’s great to be back. And here’s to Bringing It All Back home, whichever way we can.
