Digital photographer, Ant Pruitt, is here to talk about his 30-day personal photography challenge and how it made him a better photographer. Plus Netflix, ElevenLabs and the Gene Wilder estate recreated the voice of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka to use as the narrator for its new reality show “Wonka’s The Golden Ticket.” We discuss the implications and what it really means for the afterlife of well-known actors likenesses being used after their death. Sony announced it would end production of physical game discs starting in January 2028. Roger shares how he feels about losing physical game discs. And we end the week on a sweet note as we test everyone’s knowledge of SODA!
