Life After Death October 11, 2007
For the first show of the season, we look at life after death.
Reporter Becca MacLaren follows the composer of the Junkestra, a San Francisco orchestra that uses only instruments made from garbage. Julie Napolin reports on the last day of a record store’s 40-year run. Eric Zassenhaus visits the San Francisco Columbarium, a cemetery that doubles as a concert hall. Kevin Jones reports on the growing ghost-hunting scene in California. And Ben Hubbard interviews Ghostbusters’ star Dan Aykroyd about his real-life ghost-busting grandfather.

I enjoyed the interview with Aykroyd. Very informative. I didn’t know people actually looked for ghosts. And hearing the movie theme got me going just like it always did. I look forward to hearing you again, Ben.
Love, Dad
Wow. Very nice interview with Aykroyd. I was huge fan as a child. It’s shame he’s not doing much these days.
