Triumph Over Adversity: The Inspiring Journey of 'The Boys in the Boat
From Paul VOGELZANG | 31:36

Triumph Over Adversity: The Inspiring Journey of 'The Boys in the Boat'
The Not Old Better Show, Movie Review and Interview Series: Author of the book, The Boys in the Boat,’ Daniel James Brown, and star of the film Callum Turner
Welcome to today's book and film review episode of The Not Old Better Show, the destination for stories that not only captivate but also enlighten us, especially as we navigate the rewarding journey of our later years. I'm Paul Vogelzang and in this episode, we're delving into a tale that transcends the realm of sports, embodying the essence of human tenacity: "The Boys in the Boat" by Daniel James Brown.
We will be speaking with Daniel James Brown in just a bit, but first a little catch up, as the book is a few years old, and the film verions arrives this Christmas. This riveting book unfolds the true story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their remarkable pursuit of gold at the tumultuous Berlin Olympics. But this is more than a story of athletic triumph; it's a profound exploration of an era marked by the shadows of the Great Depression and the rise of Nazi Germany. It eloquently juxtaposes the personal, gritty struggles of a group of young men with the broader political and social turmoil of their times, creating a narrative tapestry that is as historically significant as it is emotionally impactful.
As we journey through this episode, we'll delve into the depths of their personal battles, the unyielding spirit of teamwork, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. This story reaches beyond the enthusiasts of sports, touching the hearts of all who hear it. It speaks to us, the generation who understands the essence of perseverance and the importance of standing together in the face of adversity.
So, let's settle in and embark on this inspiring journey, a testament to the human spirit's boundless potential. This story is a reminder that no matter the odds, with unity and determination, triumph is within our grasp.
My hope is that this story, movie, and my review will serve as nspiring you to reflect on your own journeys and the power of persistence? This story could serve as a powerful reminder that it's never too late to pursue one's dreams, regardless of the obstacles in the way.
As many of you are aware after reading this bestseller, Boys In the Boat book, but Daniel James Brown. In 1936 nine working-class American boys burst from their small towns into the international limelight, unexpectedly wiping the smile off Adolph Hitler's face by beating his vaunted German team to capture the Olympic gold medal. Daniel James Brown has written a robust, emotional snapshot of an era, a book you will recommend to your best friends.
This book, this story, as well as the film are riveting, it not only recounts a historical triumph but also reignites the fire of inspiration within us. Daniel James Brown's masterpiece, a non-fiction narrative, does just that. It's not merely about the 1936 Olympics in Berlin or the remarkable victory of a University of Washington crew team; it's a testament to the power of perseverance and unity.
As you’ll hear Daniel James Brown's vivid portrayal of this era in just a few moments, we’ll encounter the eight rowers and a coxswain, each with a unique story, all united by a single goal. Their story is set against a backdrop of a world on the brink of change – from the shores of Seattle to the tension-laden atmosphere of Nazi Germany.
It's a story that resonates with all of us, especially as we reflect on our journeys and the hurdles we've overcome.
Moreover, Brown's work offers us more than just a story. It's an exploration into the human spirit, a reminder that, regardless of age, the pursuit of excellence and the joy of achievement are always within our grasp. The comparison to Laura Hillenbrand's 'Seabiscuit: An American Legend' is apt – both stories are about underdogs, determination, and triumph against the odds.
This story, the book, and now the film are not just a small thing; it's an experience. It's an opportunity to delve into a pivotal moment in history, to understand the intricacies of a sport like crew, which, much like life itself, requires strategy, teamwork, and a harmonious rhythm of many, working as one.
So, I invite you to immerse yourself in Daniel James Brown's 'The Boys in the Boat'. It's more than a story about a crew team; it's about the resilience and the collective spirit that defines us all, especially as we navigate the later chapters of our lives.
Go see 'Boys in the Boat,' in theaters on Christmas Day!

Language Peeves: Inner Grammandos vs. Inner Wordies
Welcome to this special edition of The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview series. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today, we're diving into the fascinating evolution of the English language with none other than Smithsonian Associate Anne Curzan, a distinguished historian of the English language, linguist,at the University of Michigan, and host herself of the NPR Michigan Public Radio Program, ‘That’s What They Say.’
In a world where the rules of grammar and language are often debated and dissected, Anne Curzan stands out as a voice of reason and enlightenment. Her latest masterpiece, "Says Who? A Kinder, Funner Usage Guide for Everyone Who Cares About Words," challenges us to rethink what we know about English, pushing the boundaries between traditional grammar and the dynamic, ever-evolving nature of language. Anne Curzan will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up and the title of her presentation is Language Peeves: Inner Grammandos vs. Inner Wordies. Check out our show notes today for more information about Anne Curzan’s upcoming Smithsonian Associates presentation, but we have Anne today and let’s take a listen to a brief reading by Anne Curzan from her new book, "Says Who?

That of course is our guest today, Dr. Anne Curzan reading from her new book, "Says Who? A Kinder, Funner Usage Guide for Everyone Who Cares About Words," We’ll be talking to Anne in just a moment, and throughout our conversation, we'll explore the balance between preserving the rich history of language and embracing its inevitable evolution. Today Anne Curzn will share her insights on the primary drivers of language change, whether it be societal shifts or the impact of digital communication. We'll delve into the heart of the debate over grammatical 'rules', the singular 'they', and how these discussions reflect broader societal changes.
For our listeners, especially those over 60, Anne Curzan offers practical advice on both remaining relevant in today’s multi generational world and in navigating these linguistic shifts, ensuring that language remains a tool for connection, not division among us all. And for a glimpse into the future, Anne will share her predictions and hopes for the evolution of the English language in the coming decade.
So, whether you're a self-proclaimed 'grammando', a word enthusiast, or simply curious about the words we use and why we use them, this episode promises to enlighten, entertain, and inspire. Let's embark on this linguistic journey together, right here on The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview series.

Faithful Foundations: Unveiling the Moral Roots of American Capitalism
From Paul VOGELZANG | Part of the Smithsonian Associates Interview Series, Not Old Better Show series | 35:34
🔥 Unearth the untold story behind America's economic dawn here on radio and podcast🌅 Join us for a riveting episode 🎙️ "Faith In Markets of American Capitalism" with Smithsonian Associate Dr. Joseph Slaughter. 📚
Welcome to another riveting episode of the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series, on radio and podcast, where today we embark on a fascinating journey through time, exploring the dynamic intersections of faith, fortune, and the foundational fabric of American society with returning guest, Smithsonian Associate Joseph Slaughter,
In this episode, we are expanding on our recent interview with Smithsonian Associate Joseph Slaughter, Assistant Professor of History at Wesleyan University and we dive into the pages of Joseph's compelling new book, "Faith in Markets," which offers a groundbreaking exploration of the 19th-century Protestant revivals and the dramatic expansion of the marketplace. Today Smithsonian Associate Joseph Slaughter will tell us about visionary entrepreneurs who, driven by their faith, embarked on business ventures that aimed not just at profit, but at molding a moral and Christian marketplace. From the sophisticated textile factories of George Rapp & Associates to the virtuous publishing endeavors of Harper & Brothers, we uncover how these pioneers attempted to weave their religious convictions with their commercial aspirations.
But how does this historical tapestry relate to us today? In an age where the lines between secular and sacred seem more pronounced, the tales of the Pioneer Stage Coach Line, George Rapp & Associates, and Harper & Brothers remind us that the marketplace has always been a battleground for moral and ethical ideologies. Their efforts to integrate business practices with religious beliefs provide a mirror, reflecting our ongoing struggles and aspirations for a moral economy.
This episode is not just a journey through time; it’s an invitation to reflect on the principles that guide our modern marketplace. Are we building a world of commerce that uplifts, reforms, and unites? Or have we strayed from the visions that once sought to harmonize morality with markets?
My thanks to Smithsonian Associate Joseph Slaughter, Assistant Professor of History at Wesleyan University. Dr. Joseph Slaughter will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, so please check out our show notes today for more details. My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show. My thanks to you, our wonderful audience here on radio and podcast. My thanks to Executive Producer, Sam Heninger.
