This week, Studio 360 follows the art and science of a delicious meal. Kurt Andersen visits the kitchen of Wylie Dufresne, who owns the adventurous New York restaurant WD-50. Dufresne believes that the organic ingredients and fine food are not incompatible with the kind of chemicals we might see on a packet of Twinkies. We’ll follow the creation of a single dish – Eggs Benedict – from the egg farm to the taste test. LESS

This week, Studio 360 remembers “The Day After.” 25 years ago this month, half the country tuned in to watch this landmark TV movie about nuclear winter in the heartland. Kurt Andersen looks at the legacy of that broadcast and our lingering fears of all things nuclear. We’ll visit a decommissioned missile command base under a Kansas prairie, now inhabited by a peace activist turned real-estate agent. And gypsy rocker Eugene Hutz, who leads the band Gogol Bordello, uses songs and stories to tell how he fled Chernobyl with his family. LESS

Studio 360 saves the planet. Kurt Andersen asks a priest about the Vatican’s declaration that pollution is a modern sin. Then we explore design solutions for a changing environment. Kurt visits a solar-powered subway station in Coney Island and talks to an engineer making biofuel from bacteria. Plus, the creative thinkers behind a hand-cranked street generator, the adobe house of the future, carbon-neutral rock shows, and the Eco Art movement. LESS
