A History of Pandemics - Dr. Allen Pietrobon

The Smithsonian Associates Art Of Living Interview Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Assocaites Interview Series.  I’m Paul Vogelzang and as part of our Art of Living and Science Awareness programs with Smithsonian Assocaites, we are joined by returning guest, Dr. Allen Pietrobon.  

Dr Allen Pietrobon will be appearing via Zoom at Smithsonian Associates, Wednesday March 30, but we have Dr. Pietrobon today and our subject of conversation, and the title of Dr. Pietrobon’s upcoming Smithsonian Associates presentation is ‘A History of Pandemics.”  More information is available during our interview and on the website, so stay tuned for a very informative interview.

The saying goes that history repeats itself. True to form, epidemics have been a near-constant feature in human life. Up until the 1960s, recurring epidemics were simply a normal fact of daily life, always lurking in the background.

Joining us today is award-winning historian Allen Pietrobon, an assistant professor of global affairs at Trinity Washington University.  We will be talking to Dr. Pietrobon about some of the lesser-known pandemics and epidemics, revealing how people throughout history dealt with such sudden disease outbreaks. We’ll learn from Dr. Pietrobon where these epidemics and pandemics originated. Whom did they most affect? What was learned in how to treat or prevent them? And how did societies evolve in the wake of deadly pandemics?

Dr. Pietrobon explores the cholera epidemics that ravaged 19th-century New York City and the terrifying polio epidemic that first struck America in the 1840s and killed thousands during each generational recurrence.

Please join me and Dr. Allen Pietrobon to discover how epidemics indiscriminately affected lives, killing presidents and paupers alike; and learn about the medical and technological advancements that have helped people to continue living, post-pandemic.

My thanks to Dr. Allen Pietrobon for his expertise and generous time.  Dr Allen Pietrobon will be appearing via Zoom at Smithsonian Associates, Wednesday March 30.  More information is available on the website, noted-better.com.  My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks, of course, to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience…please be safe, be well, let’s remember Ukraine, and let’s remember to talk about better…the Not Old Better Show.  Thanks, everybody and I’ll see you next time.

UKRAINE - Update: War, Putin, China &amp; Negotiations for Peace

The Not Old Better Show Issues Briefing Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show.  I’m Paul Vogelzang and as part of our Newsmaker Briefing Interview Series, our guest today is David Andelman.  David Andelman is a returning guest and is here today to give us an up-to-the-minute glimpse into the invasion of Ukraine.

David A. Andelman is a veteran foreign correspondent for CNN News, author, and commentator who contributes frequently to CNN on global affairs. A member of the Board of Contributors of USA Today, David Andelman served for more than seven years as Editor & Publisher of World Policy Journal. David Andelman was executive editor of Forbes.com; a domestic and foreign correspondent for The New York Times in New York, Southeast Asia bureau chief, based in Bangkok, and East European bureau chief, based in Belgrade. David Andelman then moved to CBS News where he served for seven years as a Paris correspondent. Andelman followed as a Washington correspondent for CNBC, news editor of Bloomberg News, and Business Editor of the New York Daily News. In the course of his career, he has traveled through and reported from more than 85 countries.

Interestingly, David A. Andelman has joined the Center on National Security as a visiting scholar and director of its Red Lines Project.  The project’s conception arose from President Barack Obama’s failure to enforce a red line in Syria when the dictator Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons on his own people, killing more than 1,400. Obama’s cabinet disagreed strongly with his decision to walk away from the red line without military action to remove al-Assad from power. 

David Andelman has that mindset, as does the Red Lines Project, as we try to better understand this very important global security issue, we need to do so right now, especially to understand Ukraine, Putin’s mindset, where China is, and more that we’ll talk about today.

This will be a fascinating interview and we’ll talk about the Red Lines Project, cyber-security, the world in a post-pandemic state, Biden, Putin, and China.  You’ll love this interview.  

Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, CNN’s David Andelman.

My thanks to CNN’s David Andelman.   Hopefully, today’s show will give you a sense of world events, national security, our place here, and what’s going on.  My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience…be safe, and remember let’s Talk About Better.  The Not Old Better Show. Until next time, thanks, everybody.

TRULY, MADLY - VIVIEN LEIGH AND LAURENCE OLIVIER

The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show available on the radio and everywhere you find your favorite podcasts.  I’m Paul Vogelzang and as part of our Smithsonian Associates Interview Series, we are about to discuss the sweeping story of a relationship between two Hollywood legends.

Our guest today is Stephen Galloway, who’ll join us in a moment when Stephen Galloway, the former executive editor of the Hollywood Reporter, and I talk political, personal, and cinematic history in this dishy interview about the tumultuous marriage of Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh.

Stephen Galloway will be appearing Tuesday, March 22, 2022, at the Smithsonian Associates program, and the title of his presentation is Truly, Madly: Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and the Romance of the Century.  Stephen Galloway has written a new best-selling novel of the same name…you’ll find that and more on our website, listed in today’s show notes.

 In 1934, a friend brought fledgling actress Vivien Leigh to see Theatre Royal, where she would first lay eyes on Laurence Olivier in his brilliant performance as Anthony Cavendish. She knew he was the man she was going to marry. There was just one problem: She was already married—and so was he.  And that was just one of many dramatic elements in a book full of them.

A good choice for lovers of theater and cinema—and for those who live for the drama.

Decades after both actors’ deaths, the story of their love affair still captivates millions. They were two of the first truly global celebrities, whose fame was fueled by the explosive growth of tabloids and television. They seemed to have it all, but Leigh’s long-undiagnosed mental illness ultimately transformed their relationship from the stuff of dreams into a living nightmare.

Our guest today, Author Stephen Galloway draws on new research—including exclusive access to uncovered correspondence and interviews with their friends and family—for a look at their tempestuous relationship; one that took place against the backdrop of two world wars, the Golden Age of Hollywood and the upheavals of the 1960s—as they struggled with love, loss and the ultimate agony of their parting.

Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, author Stephen Gallaway.
