- "Factory-made wheelchairs are huge, heavy and ugly." To counter this reality, wheelchair riders Ralph Hotchkiss and Omar Talavera began making beautiful, all-terrain wheelchairs.

A well-crafted piece in its own right, Zimbabwe Wheel illustrates that wheelchairs can be truly empowering works of art: hand-crafted machines that are inexpensive, durable, and tailored to the needs of the rider. " Working on your chair is like working on your whole sense of self," says a student, describing a feeling no factory-made chair can provide."

But Justin needs is a real mentor, a father figure, someone who can provide guidance before it's all too late.

- Some people take up yoga to build strength and flexibility; others are primarily looking to reduce stress and tension. This 55-minute program, while purporting to address both groups, is actually much more appropriate for the latter. Yoga Zone founder Alan Finger does an excellent job not merely emphasizing the importance of the breath - the single most vital element of any yoga practice - but also explaining yoga breathing techniques, followed by a series of easy stretches (for the neck, shoulders, arms, and such) and a variety of standing, sitting, and lying poses beneficial to yogis of all levels. The pace is gentle, the sequence of poses logical, the instruction clear and constant; beginners will be challenged but not intimidated, while more advanced types might find it a welcome alternative to sweaty, aerobic yoga workouts.

- For hundreds of years, witchcraft has been associated with evil but what is the truth behind one of the best-known figures of the supernatural? We all know that practically every fairy story has a witch in it somewhere and that in the past people were burnt at the stake for being a witch. Shakespeare developed the three witches in Macbeth to be vulgar instruments of evil. But that was then - what about now? Anthony Head, star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, embarks on a journey that takes him from the Thames in London, to Scotland, and finally to South Africa where the fear of witches is still very strong and various forms of witchcraft are still practised.

- Anyone reading Wikipedia's entry on Will Forte couldn't be blamed for suspecting it's the prank of a fellow jokester. High school class president and football player? College history major? Promising financial broker? Seriously? Entries for his more recent past (That '70s Show writer, The Groundlings, Saturday Night Live) seem more like the real Will Forte - until you watch his subtly astounding turn in Nebraska. Director Alexander Payne considered over 100 actors for role of David, all of who wanted it - badly. It's understandable, given the Oscar buzz and critical acclaim the film and cast have generated since the movie's release. So how does MacGruber wind up as the kind voice of reason in a bleak cinematic landscape populated by bitter, deluded characters? Forte says maybe Alexander Payne had the best answer when he said that directors often choose actors "because they think 80% of the character is already you." Indeed, Forte's performance is so genuine, honest and stripped down it makes us wonder if the whole wacky funny guy thing is just an act. Any comedy we see in his character is of the absurdly sad sort that Payne has a genius for capturing. It's hard not to draw parallels between the physical journey David takes in the film and Forte's journey as an actor. Forte is grateful for every moment of it and excited about what comes next. At Off Camera, we will be watching to see exactly what that will be.

- Anthony Head, international actor and star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, sets out to find out the truth behind the werewolf myth. Are they real or just the stuff of myth, folklore and Hollywood movies? Most of us are familiar with the idea of a werewolf: someone who can change into a wolf-like creature with an appetite for blood, but how did these tales come about and how have they been accepted as fact? Anthony Head travels around Europe, first to Greece where he delves into a 2,000-year-old account of werewolves and human sacrifice, and then to France where he uncovers the medieval tale of the most devastating attack by a werewolf - the Beast of Gévaudan - who tore off the heads of his victims. But not all tales come from the past and a modern tale of one of these terrifying beasts is revealed by Anthony Head. He meets with werewolf experts and discusses the possibility of whether werewolves are a form of delusion and a product of a disturbed mind, a person with a genetic problem, or shape-shifting monsters.

- Anthony Head, star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, investigates vampires from historical fiction through to terrifying modern-day realism. Vampires have been with us since the dawn of time and we all know about them, familiar to us since childhood as standard characters of fiction and guaranteed box-office attractions. But what exactly are these blood-sucking creatures? And why and how do they instill such fear?

- Whether or not you've heard of Val McCallum, you've undoubtedly heard his work. Val is a supremely talented guitarist, singer, songwriter and studio musician who got his start recording for the legendary songwriter Harry Nilsson at age 18. After 30 years of working with such artists as Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams, The Wallflowers, Bonnie Raitt, and countless others, Val McCallum has released his first solo record. Entitled At the End of the Day, it is a collection of spare, acoustic and grippingly intimate songs. We grabbed Val between stops on his current tour with Jackson Browne and gigs with his own wickedly humorous country band Jackshit, where he performs as alter ego Beau Shit along with bass player Davey Faragher and drummer Pete Thomas, who make their living as Elvis Costello's rhythm section. Val grew up in Los Angeles and is the son of actor David McCallum and actress Jill Ireland, but Ireland raised Val and his brothers Jason and Paul with Charles Bronson, who she married when Val was a young boy. Val discovered the guitar at age eight, and arguably hung on to it for dear life through some tough twists and turns, including the tragic death of his brother Jason and the loss of Ireland to cancer. In "At The End of the Day," Val opens these wounds and sings with touching candor about themes that are at once deeply personal and universally human. It's a record about loss, grief and loneliness that somehow manages to create a mood of catharsis, promise and understanding. Reminiscent of early Neil Young, Nick Drake and Crosby Stills and Nash, "At the End of the Day" is an achievement of understated beauty. In this episode, Sam Jones talks to Val McCallum about his experiences making records with so many iconic artists, and about the process of making his own.
