The Making of a Monarch - Carol Ann Lloyd Stanger

Smithsonian Associates Interview Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates, Art of Living series.

What do Richard the Lionheart, Henry VII, Queen Victoria, and Her Majesty the Queen have in common? They, along with other monarchs, came to the throne after the deaths of their fathers—and with mothers very much alive and eager to be involved in the running of the country.

The title Queen Mother has been used since at least the late 16th century, but the role itself has been significant since the 12th, when Eleanor of Aquitaine participated actively in the reign of her son Richard I. In the centuries since, the mothers of English monarchs have shaped the personalities and reigns of their royal children, and influenced the nation they ruled.

Tudor and Renaissance scholar Carol Ann Lloyd Stanger examines the fascinating relationships of kings and queens and their mothers from the 12th century to today, illustrating that although they didn't hold official public positions, the women who rocked the royal cradle changed the course of English history.

The Rise of the Synagogue in Jewish Life

Smithsonian Associates Interview Series

According to the New Testament, Jesus and Paul preached in synagogues. But two thousand years ago, the Jerusalem Temple was the focal point of the Jewish religion. Our guest today, Jodi Magness, an archaeologist who specializes in ancient Palestine, explores the origins of the synagogue and how it became a prominent part of religious Jewish life in the centuries after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 A.D. She discusses synagogues in the time of Jesus and illuminates the surprising pagan motifs, such as Helios and the zodiac cycle, which decorate ancient synagogue buildings in the Holy Land.

Magness is credited for a "once in a lifetime find" in the ancient village of Huqoq in Israel's Galilee.

Fitness Benefits of Skiing, Dr. Josef Niebauer

Fitness Friday Series

Today's show is a great one, and very timely. Our guest today is Dr. Josef Niebauer, from Salzburg University, and a world renowned fitness, skiing and healthcare expert. Winter is upon us, the Winter Olympics are just about to start.

I love the Winter Olympics, for all the sports, but alpine skiing is my favorite. I've been a lifelong skier, ski raced in college, and know that Alpine skiing is one of the most popular leisure time winter sporting activities. Plus, skiing imposes high requirements concerning physical fitness, particularly regarding balance abilities, aerobic capacity, strength, and power.

How To Make Money over age 55 with ACX, from Amazon

The Not Old Better Interview Series

Most people who continue working after retirement age don't stay on in their current jobs, according to Boston College's Sloan Center on Aging & Work. Instead, they leave for a second career, or something they truly love, a job of their choice, but a job, none-the-less, with pay, benefits, a supervisor, etc.

As Americans live longer and healthier lives, the desire to work longer—for the income, the mental engagement, or the chance to do something we love—has grown.

One excellent resource for a little guidance for the 55+ crowd looking for work you love, is our friend, David Lawrence, XVII. David Lawrence has been with us before, but you likely know David from his work in movies, TV shows, David is the voice of America Online, David is a writer, a technologist, an artist, an entrepreneur, a long time working actor, as well as acting coach, and voice coach.

Presenting the nitty-gritty details of available job opportunities, wages to expect, typical hours, and the qualifications and savvy needed to get hired, David's classes are packed with practical advice on how to prepare both professionally and financially to start out on becoming a working voice over artist.

Motivational, inspirational, and thoroughly practical, David Lawrence explains how to find part-time, temporary, work-at-home, or government work in profitable, rewarding voice over work.

The Screenwriter and the Superstar - Melanie Benjamin

Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series

The upcoming presentation of The Girls in the Picture the new novel from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Benjamin, tells the story of the friendship and creative partnership between two of Hollywood's earliest female legends, screenwriter

Frances Marion and silent-movie superstar Mary Pickford.

Benjamin's story begins in 1914, when 25-year-old Frances Marion leaves her husband and her Northern California home for the lure of Los Angeles, where she is determined to live independently as an artist. There she finds her true calling, writing stories for the booming new medium of film. She also makes the acquaintance of actress Mary Pickford, whose signature golden curls and lively spirit have earned her the title "America's Sweetheart."

The two ambitious young women hit it off instantly, but their ambitions are challenged by both the men around them and the limitations imposed on their gender—and they realize their astronomical success could come at a price. As in any good Hollywood story, dramas play out, personalities clash, and even the deepest friendships might be shattered.

Hear Benjamin discuss this story of friendship and forgiveness, as well as her approach to capturing the dawn of a new era in American entertainment.

#150 Who Are You? How Passports Changed Identity. Dr. Craig Robertson Jan 16, 2018

Who Are You? How Passports Changed Identity. Dr. Craig Robertson

Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series

In today's world of constant identification checks, it's difficult to recall that there was ever a time when "proof of identity" was not a part of everyday life. And as anyone knows who has ever lost a passport, or let one expire on the eve of international travel, the passport has become an indispensable document. But how and why did this form of identification take on such a crucial role? In the first history of the passport in the United States, Craig Robertson offers an illuminating account of how this document, above all others, came to be considered a reliable answer to the question: who are you? Historically, the passport originated as an official letter of introduction addressed to foreign governments on behalf of American travelers, but as Robertson shows, it became entangled in contemporary negotiations over citizenship and other forms of identity documentation. Prior to World War I, passports were not required to cross American borders, and while some people struggled to understand how a passport could accurately identify a person, others took advantage of this new document to advance claims for citizenship. From the strategic use of passport applications by freed slaves and a campaign to allow married women to get passports in their maiden names, to the "passport nuisance" of the 1920s and the contested addition of photographs and other identification technologies on the passport, Robertson sheds new light on issues of individual and national identity in modern U.S. history. In this age of heightened security, especially at international borders, Robertson's The Passport in America provides anyone interested in questions of identification and surveillance with a richly detailed, and often surprising, history of this uniquely important document.

#149 INSIDE CAMP DAVID, Adm. Mike Giorgione Jan 15, 2018

Show notes

INSIDE CAMP DAVID, Adm. Mike Giorgione

Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series

Deep in the woods of Maryland's Catoctin Mountains, up miles of unmarked road lined with towering oaks, sits an intensely private and fascinating complex that serves as the presidential family retreat: Camp David. Invitations to this exclusive getaway go only to a select few, while the rest of us have been left to wonder, "What is it really like?"

That's the question retired Rear Admiral Michael Giorgione aims to answer with Inside Camp David: The Private World of the Presidential Retreat (Little, Brown and Company). A former Camp David commander, Giorgione served under both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and has a first-hand understanding of the connection between the first family and this notable sanctuary.

Camp David has played a vital role in American history over the past 75 years as a setting for presidents and national and international leaders to converge, converse, and, perhaps most importantly, relax. It was where FDR and Churchill planned D-Day (the porch where they sat still remains); the 1978 Camp David Peace Accords took place; George W. Bush spent the night after 9/11; and Barack Obama taught his daughter Malia how to drive.

Mike Giorgione will be presenting at the Smithsonian Associates series, January 23, 2018. For tickets and more information, please click HERE.
