The Not Old Better Show Smithsonian Associates Author Interview Series
Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and we've got another great show as part of our Smithsonian Associates Art Of Living author interview series. Thank you so much for listening. We've got a great guest today, who I'll introduce in just a moment…But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 656th episode, and we spoke to author Kathy Kleiman about her new book, Proving Ground…a great interview about the first women programmers of the ENIAC computer. Two weeks ago, I spoke with Claudia Clark about her book, 'Dear Barack' and the important but unlikely, especially in this divisive political day and age, of the political partnership between Pres. Barack Obama and German PM Angela Merkel. Wonderful stuff…If you missed those shows, you can go back and check them out along with my entire backlog of shows, all free for you there on our website, NotOldBetter.com…and if you leave a review, we will read it at the end of each show…leave reviews on Apple Podcasts for us.
Today's interview is really fun and so eye-opening…We are talking with Smithsonian Associate Marc Seifer.
