Leah Stacy, editor of CITY, hosts this preview of the latest edition of the magazine. The July issue is all about the Finger Lakes. Our guests take us on a tour of the arts, culture, and culinary scenes—from Conesus Lake to Otisco Lake. In studio:

Then in our second hour, a special rebroadcast. Jonna Mendez was elevated to chief of disguise for the CIA during a career that took her to some of the world’s most dangerous places. She has often been compared to “Q” from the James Bond series. Mendez has told her stories in print, both in nonfiction and in fiction, including the book, “Argo.” She joins us to discuss her career and the types of disguise work she did—from masks to cameras hidden in pens, and more.
