In this episode, Helen Hollyman interviews Bill and Turner Ross, two brothers who make documentaries. Their most recent film is Tchoupitoulas- a story about the New Orleans night. It was most recently screened at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas to much critical acclaim. Listen as Helen asks Bill and Turner about everything from their favorite Midwestern dishes to their experiences floating down the Mississippi on a pontoon shack. Hear about how their film was inspired by the smells, sights, and magic of New Orleans music, food, and culture. This program was sponsored by Cain Winery .
"It's something that we've been doing our entire lives- trying to get into as much trouble as we possibly can. 'Let's go down the Mississippi River in a really crappy toolshed with pontoons on it and see if we survive.'" -- The Ross Brothers on U Look Hungry
