The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams - Stacy Schiff

The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series

Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates author interview series on radio and podcast.   I’m Paul Vogelzang, and for all of us in The Not Old Better Show audience who love American Revolutionary War history, today’s Smithsonian Associates author interview is just for you.

Thank you so much for listening.  We’ve got a great guest today, whom I’ll introduce in just a moment…But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 669th episode, and I spoke to comedian and host of the popular podcast “Carson Podcast,” funny man himself, Mark Malkoff.   Two weeks ago, in another great interview, I spoke to  Smithsonian Associate and author, researcher and scientist, Dr. Sian Harding, who’s written the new book, The Exquisite Machine, The New Science of the Heart.

Thomas Jefferson once asserted that "for depth of purpose, zeal, and sagacity, no man in Congress exceeded, if any equaled Sam Adams." John Adams called him "the most elegant writer, the most sagacious politician, and celebrated patriot perhaps of all." But in spite of his celebrated status among America's Founding Fathers as a revolutionary leader, Samuel Adams' life and achievements have been largely overshadowed in the history books.

In a spirited conversation today with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff who’ll be appearing at Smithsonian Associates with show favorite Rebecca Boggs Roberts, we will examine this often-overlooked US Constitution founder, Samuel Adams, following his transformation from the listless, failing son of a wealthy family into the tireless, silver-tongued revolutionary who rallied the likes of John Hancock and John Adams behind him. Including a wonderful reading by Stacy Schiff, from chapter 2 in her new book:  ‘The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams.’ And ‘A Voice in the Darkness…A Knock on the Door.’  

That, of course, is our guest today, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff, reading from her new book, ‘The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams.’  Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associate Stacy Schiff.  

We have another 5***** Review from:

That’s Pete Seeger from Smithsonian Folkways singing ‘Lincoln and Liberty,’ to set the history and Civi l War tone today.  At the start of the Civil War, the medical field in America was rudimentary, unsanitary, and woefully underprepared to address what would become the bloodiest conflict on U.S. soil. However, in this historic moment of pivotal social and political change, medicine was also fast evolving to meet the needs of the time. Unprecedented strides were made in the science of medicine, and as women and African Americans were admitted into the field for the first time.

The Civil War marked a revolution in healthcare, laying the foundations for the system we know today. Drawing on her new book Healing a Divided Nation, Carole Adrienne tracks this remarkable and fierce transformation in its cultural and historical context, illustrating how the advancements made in these four years reverberated throughout the western world for years to come.

Adrienne is an author and documentary filmmaker. She has served on advisory panels for the Philadelphia Archdiocesan Historic Research Center and exhibitions on Civil War medicine and the 1918 flu epidemic for the Mutter Museum.

Many people, as I did, first came to know Sr. Wendy Beckett in the 1990s through her popular television program, "Sister Wendy's Odyssey." She was an unlikely celebrity: diminutive, dressed in a medieval-looking black habit of her own design, her lively and intelligent features offset by large spectacles. Yet countless viewers became entranced by her tour of famous galleries around the world, and by her incisive and empathetic commentary on the works of art she encountered along the way.

In 2018 Sister Wendy Beckett passed away.  Several years prior to Sis Wendy’s passing she began corresponding with our guest today author Robert Ellsberg.  The book Dearest Sister Wendy . . . A Surprising Story of Faith and Friendship that resulted from those letters, emails, conversations and contact is out now, I’ve read it, and we’ll be talking with Robert Ellsberg about it today on The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.

That of course is our guest today, author, publisher Robert Ellsberg reading from his new book, which he’s co-written, entitled: Dearest Sister Wendy…A Surprising Story of Faith and Friendship. We’ll hear more today from Robert Ellsberg about his new book, and his hope that those who read it and these letters will discover the person, in Sister Wendy, behind the television persona: a modern mystic, a genius of the spiritual life, a person of far-seeing sensitivities, a great lover of God whose capacity for love she was still discovering at the end of her life. And perhaps they will feel included in her final apostolate of friendship.

Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast, author Robert Ellsberg.

We are listening to ‘Monastery Bells’ from Smithsonian Folkways today My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to Robert Ellsberg for his time today.
