It's Just Dinner - Dr. Tom Robinson The Not Old Better Show, Art of Living Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show Art of Living Interview Series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's episode is brought to you by FindAGrave.com We are talking about dating in today's episode, and we're talking with a dating expert, Dr. Tom Robinson, who hosts a popular new podcast titled "It's Just Dinner." I love that name, "It's Just Dinner." When dating is at the forefront of your mind, as it can be with many in our Not Old Better Show audience, you may put too much pressure on yourself or your dating companion. Today's interview with Dr. Tom Robinson will make it less about the BIG DEAL romantic significance and more about "just dinner" and the experience. After all, you're not committing to getting married…it's just dinner, as Dr. Robinson tells us. Dr. Robinson will offer dating tips, help alleviate anxiety about dating, overcome the dreaded 'dating ritual,' and offer some guidance about enjoying the date, taking it slow, laughing, and keeping it simple. Dr. Tom Robinson, a professor at the BYU School of Communications, says: "Guys, she's not committing to being your wife," "It's just dinner. Quit thinking about it as a romantic encounter; it's just dinner. She's committing an hour to you to eat and to talk. That's it. For the women: it's just dinner. If he doesn't call you ever again, that's fine. If you don't like him, that's fine. Remember, you're not an item. It's just dinner. You're just having a meal." "Stop stressing over it." Dr. Tom Robinson and his co-host, journalist Bob Walz host the "It's Just Dinner" podcast, which is available everywhere you find your podcasts. Dr. Robinson is a professor at the BYU School of Communications. He spends most of his time studying and gathering information on older stereotypes and portrayals of older individuals in the media and determining what images older individuals like and dislike in the media.

Follow the Music: An All-American Road Trip - Bill Clevlen The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Art of Living Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates series on radio and podcast.

Join me today with national travel journalist and broadcaster Bill Clevlen on a virtual road trip to the places where they were born and where iconic performers made history, a memorable cross-country journey into the heart of American music. Our itinerary today takes us from instrument-themed museums to recording studios, famous stages to murals honoring musical greats. Along the way Bill Clevlen spotlights statues of artists including Dolly Parton and Ray Charles; Motown's legendary Studio A; the Grand Ole Opry; the places where the blues and hip-hop were first heard; Little Richard's childhood home; the room where Aretha Franklin recorded her first hit; and the last spot Hank Williams was seen alive. It's a virtual trip that will bring back plenty of memories—and perhaps inspire your own real-life one to follow the music you love. Clevlen's new book, The Ultimate American Music Bucket List: A Guide for Music Lovers and Road Trippers is a wonderful companion to any drive, but the tour aspect is most impressive. We'll discuss Bill's excellent book, along with other great stories: From the red light blinks out the word "Hollywood" in Morse code every few seconds: what a cool story: Reportedly, the message has been changed only once since the light began blinking the message in 1956. The light has been sending out the same message, with a few exceptions. The year 1992 marked the 50th anniversary of Capitol Records, and to celebrate this, the message was changed to "Capitol 50" for the whole year. It was then changed back, and it would take another decade until it was changed again. Bill Clevlen's book is filled with these kinds of stories and music history. Bill Clevlen currently shares road trip stories on radio and television stations across the U.S. You can hear him nationally on SiriusXM satellite radio and several syndicated travel programs.

Why Sharks Matter: A Deep Dive With the World's Most Misunderstood Predator. Smithsonian Associates Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates series on radio and podcast.

David Shiffman reading from his new book, Why Sharks Matter: A Deep Dive with the World's Most Misunderstood Predator. Sharks do matter, and they are some of the most fascinating, ecologically important, threatened, and misunderstood animals on Earth. More often feared than revered, their role as predators of the deep has earned them a reputation as a major threat to humans. But, says marine conservation biologist David Shiffman, the truth is that sharks are not a danger to us—they're in danger from us. David Shiffman tells us today why it's crucial that we overcome our misconceptions and rise above cinematic Hollywood scenes to scare us, to embrace sharks as the imperiled and elegant ocean guardians they really are. Sharing his own fascinating experiences working with them, Shiffman explains why healthy shark populations are essential for supporting ocean ecosystems—and the coastal economies that depend on them. Touching on everything from Shark Week to shark fin soup, overfishing to marine sanctuaries, Shiffman reveals why these iconic predators are in trouble, why we should care, and how scientists, conservationists, and individuals can save them.

Krebs Cycle: Why It Matters - Prof Nick Lane The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Inside Science Series Understanding the Krebs Cycle Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates series on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and as part of our Inside Science interview series with Smithsonian Associates, our guest today is author and scientist Nick Lane. Nick Lane will be appearing at the Smithsonian Associates and you can check out more details in our show notes today. Generations of students have learned how the Krebs cycle generates the building blocks of life and fuels the furnace of respiration. Biochemist Nick Lane is among the vanguard of researchers who ask how this complex, contradictory pathway of creation, destruction, and renewal within our cells could help us understand questions from the origins of life to the devastation of cancer. In an animated conversation with us today, Nick Lane guides an exploration through the "conflicted merry-go-round of energy and matter" that is the Krebs cycle. Along the way, he recounts the scientific detective work that discovered this process while deconstructing textbook views about metabolism. Nick Lane will tell us about how he traces the primacy of the Krebs cycle—and its reverse—from deep-sea hydrothermal vents and the "Cambrian Explosion" to the individual, yet universal, experience of aging. By distilling and humanizing complex research, Lane offers an essential overview for anyone fascinated by biology's great mysteries. What this means to our lives, our death, disease, and the origin of life…I'll let Nick Lane tell you himself, but first, let's hear Nick Lane read a passage from his new book, 'Transformer. That of course, is our guest today, Prof Nick Lane reading from his new book 'Transformer' Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast author, scientist, and Smithsonian Associate, Nick Lane.

The Road To Galena - Interview with Joe Hall The Not Old Better Show Movies for Adults Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang and today's show is brought to you by Newspapers.com. As part of our Art of Living, Film Interview series, our guest today is Joe Hall. Joe Hall is a first-time feature filmmaker and has written the July 8 release of The Road To Galena. We'll hear from Joe Hall about his new movie, what it took to make a wonderful film on location during COVID, and what it took to make a film of this type. You see, films like 'The Road To Galena are really not made much anymore. In an era of blockbusters, action universe series prequels, sequels and remakes, there aren't scripts like 'The Road To Galena,' but Joe Hall has written one. I've seen the film and it is wonderful. The Road to Galena follows one man's pursuit of personal fulfillment over traditional success. Cole Baird ( played by Ben Winchell ) has everything — a beautiful wife, a successful career, a large home, and membership to an elite country club. Behind the facade, however, is a man trapped by his surroundings and falling ever behind in the pursuit of his life's dream. Not strong enough to confront his father's expectations, he left his true love, his best friend, and a fulfilling life in small-town America to embark on a legal career — intent to, one day, return. Now the rising star in Washington social circles and the youngest managing partner in the history of a powerhouse D.C. law firm, Cole is given the choice to continue the path of success in a life to which he never aspired or to return to the community that nurtured him. Let's listen to a clip from the film between Cole and his father. That of our course is a clip from the new film, released July 8, titled "The Road To Galena." Our guest today is writer and first-time feature filmmaker of the film, Joe Hall. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast, filmmaker Joe Hall.

The Ritchie Boys, Nisei, and WWII: The Language of War The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to the Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. You're listening to our award-winning Smithsonian Associates Interview Series. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and our guest today is Dr. David Frey, who's written and researched and will be telling us all about his subject, The Richie Boys. Between 1942 and 1945, the U.S. military established the Military Intelligence Training Center (MITC), which recruited an unusual group of soldiers: refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe, Japanese Americans, Native Americans, African Americans, women, artists, intellectuals, and others. Our guest today, Dr. David Frey, a professor of history and director of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at West Point, spotlights two groups that possessed invaluable linguistic skills and who could pull off an amazing transformation to aid the US war effort. Among the "Ritchie Boys," named for the secret Camp Ritchie facility in Maryland, were young Jewish refugees mostly from Nazi Germany and Austria. They returned to Europe after being trained in how to gather battlefield intelligence. Second-generation Japanese Americans or Nisei also trained at the camp, serving as translators, interpreters, and interrogators. Dr. David Frey tells us the story of the recruits' wartime contributions and their enduring effects on the culture and politics of the Cold War era—and on what it meant to be an American. This story is amazing and The Ritchie Boys were young men, many of them German-born Jews, who fled Nazi Germany to the US. They were trained in intelligence and psychological warfare and returned to Germany as soldiers in the US army. Join me for a fascinating story you have to hear to believe, and let's welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast, Smithsonian Associate, Dr. David Frey. My thanks to Dr. David Frey for his generous time today, as well as this fascinating Smithsonian Associates story of The Ritchie Boys.
