Dear Barack - Claudia Clark

The Extraordinary Partnership Between Barack Obama and Angela Merkel

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.  I’m Paul Vogelzang, and today’s show is generously brought to you by Ka’Chava, Elysium Health, and Newspapers.com

Working with people who are dissimilar in personality and thought can prove perplexing, if not impossible, yet it doesn't mean that successful working partnerships cannot be developed.  

One such partnership nearly didn’t happen; then, after it did, it nearly died.  One of the great political friendships of the modern world is between US President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel as two of the world’s most influential leaders, together at the center of some of the biggest controversies and most impressive advancements of our time. But while their friendship has been the subject of both scrutiny and admiration, few know the full story.

Our guest today, author Claudia Clark, tells us about the two world leaders taking office at the height of the 2008 global recession; Obama was keenly aware of the fractured relationship between the US and Europe. And for her part, Merkel was suspicious of the charismatic newcomer who had captivated her country, a state visit, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom award…let’s listen as Claudia Clark reads a passage from her new book.

That, of course, is our guest today, Claudia Clark reading from her new book, Dear Barack, which is a thoroughly researched document of the parallel trajectories that led to Obama and Merkel meeting on the world stage and the trials, both personal and political, that they confronted in office.

Join Claudia Clark and me as we discuss a story of camaraderie on a global scale; Clark’s book and our interview today about ‘Dear Barack’ shows that it is possible for political adversaries to establish bonds of respect—and even friendship—in the service of the free world.

My thanks today to our sponsors, Ka’Chava Newspapers.com and Elysium Health.  Please check out our show notes for more information about our sponsors, and please support our sponsors because they, in turn, support the show. My thanks to Claudia Clark, author of the new book ‘Dear Barack.’ You can find out more about Claudia Clark, and her work in the show notes today, too.  Please be well and be safe…I’m saying this to you regularly about being safe, and that is to be safe by eliminating assault rifles.  We don’t need them in hands of nonmilitary, and they are killing our children and grandchildren in the very places they learn: SCHOOL!   We can do better.  Let's talk about Better...The Not Old Better Show.

#656 Dear Barack - Claudia Clark

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and we’ve got another great show as part of our Smithsonian Associates Art Of Living author interview series.  Thank you so much for listening.  We’ve got a great guest today, who I’ll introduce in just a moment…But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 656th episode, and we spoke to author Peter Alagona about his new book, Accidental Ecosystem…a great interview about the rise in animals living in urban America.  Two weeks ago, I spoke with Dr. Chantel Prat about how we’re wired and the human brain’s adventure for each of us.  If you missed those shows, you can go back and check them out along with my entire backlog of shows, all free for you there on our website, NotOldBetter.com…and if you leave a review, we will read it at the end of each show…leave reviews on Apple Podcasts for us.

As I said, our guest today is Kathy Kleiman, author, author, educator, and attorney who’s written the new book, Proving Ground: The Untold Story of the Six Women Who Programmed the World’s First Modern Computer and will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up…check our show notes for details and more information.

After the end of World War II, top-secret research continued across the United States as engineers and programmers rushed to complete their confidential assignments. Among them were six pioneering women tasked with figuring out how to program the new Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC).

The world’s first general-purpose, programmable, all-electronic computer, ENIAC, was built to calculate a single ballistic trajectory in 20 seconds rather than 40 hours by a human hand—but there were no instruction codes or programming languages in existence to guide the women. They succeeded, but their story was never told to the reporters and scientists fascinated by the huge computer after it became public—and it was lost.

That, of course, is our guest today, author Kathy Kleiman, reading from her new book, Proving Ground: The Untold Story of the Six Women Who Programmed the World’s First Modern Computer

Join Kathy Kleiman and me as she talks all about these women programmers and the campaign to restore these women to their rightful place as technological revolutionaries and shares why the ENIAC programmers’ groundbreaking work still deserves to be celebrated.

Thanks, Mr. Clever, and please leave your feedback which I’ll read here on the show.  Thanks, as well, to our wonderful Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  Thanks to you, our equally wonderful audience…please be safe, and I emphasize this because we need to all be safe by eliminating assault rifles.  Assault rifles should only be in military hands…they are killing our children and grandchildren in the very place they learn: School.  Please, let’s do better by eliminating assault rifles…let’s talk about better…The Not Old Better Show.  Thanks, everybody, and I’ll see you next week.

Today’s interview is really amazing and so eye-opening…We are talking with Smithsonian Associate Dr. Michael Brenner.  Dr. Michael Brenner will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, so please check out our show notes for more details; but we have a wonderful interview with Dr. Michael Brenner today in anticipation of Michael Brenner’s Smithsonian Associates presentation titled, Insurrection in a Bavarian Beer Hall.Hitler’s Failed Putsch and Its Consequences

In the aftermath of Germany's defeat in World War I and the failed November Revolution of 1918-19, the conservative government of Bavaria identified Jews with left-wing radicalism. Munich became a hotbed of right-wing extremism, with synagogues under attack and Jews physically assaulted in the streets. It was here that Adolf Hitler established the Nazi movement and developed his antisemitic ideas. Michael Brenner provides a gripping account of how Bavaria's capital city became the testing ground for Nazism and the Final Solution.

Dr. Michael Brenner will describe in detail an electrifying narrative that takes readers from Hitler's return to Munich following the armistice to his calamitous Beer Hall Putsch in 1923. Dr. Brenner demonstrates why the city's transformation is crucial for understanding the Nazi era and the tragedy of the Holocaust. Dr. Brenner tells us how Hitler and his followers terrorized Munich's Jews and were aided by politicians, judges, police, and ordinary residents. Dr. Brenner shows how the city's Jews responded to the antisemitic backlash in many different ways--by declaring their loyalty to the state, by avoiding public life, or by abandoning the city altogether for a different perspective.

That, of course, is our guest today, Dr. Michael Brenner reading from his new book, In Hitler’s Munich.  Please join me in welcoming to the Smithsonian Associates Author Interview series Smithsonian Associate Dr. Michael Brenner.

Thanks to Dr. Michael Brenner for joining me today and for his reading from his new book, In Hitler’s Munich  Dr. Brenner’s excellent preparation…really makes my job easy.

That, of course, is our guest today, Smithsonian Associate David Maraniss, reading from his new book, Path Lit By Lightning: The Life of Jim Thorpe.’’

Jim Thorpe rose to world fame as a mythic talent who excelled at every sport. He won gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, was an All-American football player at the Carlisle Indian School, the star of the first class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and played major-league baseball for John McGraw’s New York Giants. Even in the golden age of sports celebrities, he was one of a kind.

We’ll discuss all this and America’s greatest all-around athlete who, for all his travails, did not succumb. The man survived, complications and all, and so did the myth.

Our guest today is Smithsonian Associate Ari Weinzweig, who’ll be presenting at Smithsonian Associates coming up.  Please check our website for more details about Ari Weinzweig’s upcoming Smithsonian Associates presentation.  But, we have Ari Weinzweig today.  Ari Weinzweig is the founding partner of Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, including Zingerman’s Delicatessen, Zingerman’s Creamery, and Zingerman’s Bakehouse.  Google says Zingermans is one of the “iconic restaurants of Ann Arbor, Michigan.” But today’s interview is much bigger than just Ann Arbor, Michigan, although that might be enough… no, no, we have Ari Weinzweig today, and our conversation is about being your best self in work, your personal life, and the power of your beliefs!

Zingerman’s Delicatessen in Ann Arbor, Michigan, opened in 1982 as a traditional Jewish deli and food shop that sold great stacked sandwiches and delicious baked goods. Less known is its role in building new business opportunities for others in the area, like ZingTrain and the BakeSchool

Corned beef and kugel made the deli a local icon. But rather than plant copies of the successful enterprise everywhere, co-founding partners Ari Weinzweig and Paul Saginaw took a different path. They created Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, stores with their own food specialty, and managing partners who would replicate Zingerman’s values.  

Ari Weinzweig writes books, pamphlets, and many other materials, all found HERE, on the e-newsletters site at Zingermans.

Please join me in welcoming you to the Not Old Better Show Smithsonian Associates interview series on radio and podcast Ari Weinzweig.
