Radio Smart talk for Friday, December 16:

PBS' Antiques Roadshow describes itself as "part adventure, part history lesson, and part treasure hunt."  It is the most-watched TV program on PBS with about 10 million viewers for each episode.  Antiques Roadshow has also spawned a number of similar programs -- although none seem to be quite as compelling as the original.

On Friday's Radio Smart Talk, we'll be joined by Marsha Bemko, the Executive Producer of Antiques Roadshow, who will tell a few behind-the-scenes stories from the show and provide some tips on what may be the most valuable items in your home.

Among the questions we'll ask Marsha Bemko are:

Where are today's bargains?
What's the hottest antiques category right now?
How can you avoid buying a fake?
How should you go about selling old silverware or gold and silver jewelry?

What questions would you have if you appeared on Antiques Roadshow?
