Restoration and remediation expert Michael Rubino joins me today to discuss his critical work and book The Mold Medic.  We uncover the often unnoticed way that mold can form and proliferate in our homes, even in dry climates like New Mexico.  How our health can be seriously compromised by the biotoxins mold produces and how to prevent mold in the first place.  Michael is not a medical professional himself but consults with doctors and specialists who are putting together the puzzle pieces of medical mysteries that appear to mimic other illnesses but are, in fact, caused by dangerous mold and bacteria on our homes. www.themoldmedic.com  An interview not to be missed.

One of Santa Fe’s most beloved authors, Elaine Pinkerton, joins me today to celebrate KSFR during our Spring Fundraiser.  She’s also celebrating this week’s release of her newest book Hand of Ganesh, inspired by her travels in Mother India set amidst the Kumbha Mela gathering.  She also reminds us that her beautiful book From Calcutta with Love, her own parents' wartime love letters, is being re-released soon.  Elaine tells delightful stories of how KSFR’s open, thoughtful contributors and opera have informed and blessed her daily life for years.  Join her in donating any time by clicking the “donate” button on ksfr.org and discover all her books and blog at elainepinkerton.wordpress.com and at our superb local bookstores.  Plus, beginning in May, meet Elaine in person at the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market on most Tuesdays.
