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.  I’m Paul Vogelzang, and as part of our Inside Science interview series with Smithsonian Associates, our guest today is author and scientist Dr. David Shiffman.  David Shiffman will be appearing at the Smithsonian Associates and you can check out more details in our show notes today.

Let’s listen as David Shiffman reads a passage from his new book, Why Sharks Matter: A Deep Dive with the World's Most Misunderstood Predator.

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.

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.  I’m Paul Vogelzang, and as part of our Art of Living interview series with Smithsonian Associates, our guest today is author, travel columnist and music lover Bill Clevlen.  Bill Clevlen will be appearing at the Smithsonian Associates and you can check out more details in our show notes today.

You love the songs that are the soundtrack of your life. 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.  Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast, Smithsonian Associate Bill Clevlen.

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.
