Show Notes

Eastman Kodak revolutionized amateur photography, but after failing to embrace digital, it fell on hard times. Then, a lifeline came in the form of a loan from the federal government--to make not cameras, but pharmaceuticals. It sent stock prices soaring … but also raised a lot of questions.

Podcast production by Jess Miller, with help from Madeline Ducharme and Cleo Levin.
