Welcome to The Not Old Better Show.  I’m Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #456. 

When the U.S. and world economies collapsed into the Great Depression in 1929, creatives of all kinds faced a bleak future. The Jazz Age was dead. Among government programs designed to spur the economy back to life, President Franklin Roosevelt included the Federal Writers’ Project and the Federal Arts Project.
No one expected an American renaissance. 

Yet FDR said, “One hundred years from now, my administration will be known for its art, not its relief.” And yet another quote I love, for many reasons: HARD TIMES:  Somebody once said that the great oxygen of the US is optimism.  What happens if we can’t breathe, <which is prescient> or eat, or go to work, go outside?  We need arts.

That of course, is our guest today, David A. Taylor, who’ll be appearing via Zoom at the Smithsonian Associates presentation, Creativity in Dark Times: Artists and Writers of the New Deal.  Check out web site for Zoom details.

Artists and writers comprised the Federal Writers Project and produced scores of travel guidebooks, histories, and a trove of thousands of life histories including the narratives of former slaves. Artists supported by the government produced landscapes, murals, street scenes, portraits, sculptures, and abstracts.
Author David Taylor looks at some of the artists and writers for whom the government’s programs gave them a new purpose: recording American life. Some later ranked among the most creative minds of the 20th century as screenwriters, poets, bestselling novelists, ands artists. They included recipients of the National Book Award, the National Medal of Arts, and the Nobel Prize for Literature.

David A. Taylor will discuss with us how, in focusing on America, those artists could stir controversy, seen in censored travel books, banned works, and murals denounced by citizens’ committees even up to the present. By tracing how these artists and works cut against the grain of public opinion and convention, Taylor examines art’s power in shifting American identities.

David A. Taylor teaches writing at Johns Hopkins University and was lead writer and co-producer of the Smithsonian Channel documentary Soul of a People: Writing America’s Story.

Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, via internet phone, David A. Taylor.

The Great American Road Trip - Allen Pietrobon
Smithsonian Associates Artist Interview Series
Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #460.
As part of our Smithsonian Associates, Art of Living Streaming Series, our guest today is historian, academic, Dr. Allen Pietrobon. Dr. Allen Pietrobon will be presenting via Zoom at the Smithsonian Associates Streaming program, Wednesday, July 8, 2020, and the title of his presentation, and the subject of our conversation today is The Great American Road Trip. Details are available on our site about Zoom.
Just in time for the summer road trip season, Dr. Allen Pietrobon, an assistant professor of global Affairs at Trinity Washington University and an award-winning historian, takes us on a literary journey that explores the nature and impact of American travel stories.
Perhaps no genre of story is so typically American than the travel story narrative. From chronicles of the settlement of the West to the modern cross-country road trip, travel story narratives have infused American history and popular culture. Many of these stories are written from the perspective of travelers who found themselves to be outsiders along the way. From Mark Twain’s Life on the Mississippi to John Steinbeck's Travels With Charlie to Jack Kerouac’s On The Road, in most of these stories, the protagonist is positioned as an explorer in a new and unfamiliar landscape (whether that be Jim Crow-era Alabama or the American West) on a journey of self-discovery to encounter the “real” America. What is so compelling about travel stories? What can they teach us about American history, culture, and society?  Dr. Allen Pietrobon will answer those questions and more during our interview.
Dr. Allen Pietrobon is a historian and academic. Dr. Allen Pietrobon will be presenting via Zoom at the Smithsonian Associates program, Wednesday, July 8, 2020, and the title of his presentation is The Great American Road Trip. Details are available on our site about Zoom. Thank you to the Smithsonian, for arranging today’s interview and for all they do to support the show. My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience. Please practice smart social distancing, be well, be healthy, and Talk About Better. The Not Old Better Show.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show.  I’m Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #461.

As part of our Smithsonian Associates, Inside Science, Earth Optimism Initiative series, today’s show is another in our series about the global conversation regarding climate.

Over the past half-century, from historian Lynn White's influential 1967 essay attributing many of the causes of the ecological crisis to Latin Christianity to Pope Francis's 2015 addresses to Congress and the United Nations about the need to combat climate change, the Christian churches—and to some extent the other world religions—have made a momentous shift toward incorporating environmentalism into their teachings. The change is evident in the emergence of ideas such as integral ecology in Catholicism, eco-kashrut in Judaism, and green Buddhism, as well as various forms of religious environmental activism.

Our guest today, ethicist and author Dr. William Barbieri answers our questions about how and why these religious traditions have adapted their teachings in response to ecological challenges, and about what we can learn from this process regarding the role of religions in the modern world. Dr. Barbieri discusses the ethical ramifications of the greening of Christianity, as well as other models of ecological spirtuality and ethics.
Dr. William Barbieri is associate professor of ethics in the School of Theology and Religious Studies and director of the Peace and Justice Studies Program at Catholic University of America.

My thanks to Dr. William Barbieri, joining us today to talk about Earth Optimism, and how the global conservation movement has reached a turning point, especially with religion. We all are aware, and it has been well documented the fast pace of habitat loss, the growing number of endangered and extinct species, and the increasing speed of global climate change. Yet while the seriousness of these threats cannot be denied, there are a growing number of examples of improvements in the health of species and ecosystems, along with benefits to human well-being, thanks to our conservation actions. Earth Optimism celebrates a change in focus from problem to solution, from a sense of loss to one of hope, in the dialogue about conservation and sustainability. Let’s support and celebrate Earth Optimism. 

And my thanks always to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience.  Remember, stay safe everyone, practice smart social distancing, and Talk About Better.  The Not Old Better Show.  Thanks, everybody.
