    Word Warriors: The Untold Chronicles of English-Language Dictionaries

    In the vast landscape of human knowledge, few artifacts hold as much power, mystery, and authority as the dictionary. It is not just a tool for understanding words, but a mirror reflecting the intricate tapestry of history, culture, and revolution. Today, we delve into a story that transcends mere words on a page. Welcome to "Words, Words, Words: English-Language Dictionaries and the People Who Made Them," a journey into the heart of language itself.Imagine a world where every word is a battleground, a site of struggle not just for meaning but for dominance. Here, giants like Samuel Johnson and Noah Webster didn't just write dictionaries; they shaped the very soul of a language. From the audacious efforts of James Murray with the Oxford English Dictionary to the defiant creation of the first dictionary by a Black American capturing the vibrant pulse of 'hepster jive', these were not just scholarly pursuits. They were acts of cultural defiance and intellectual heroism.But the story doesn't end in the past. As we step into the digital age, the battle for linguistic authority has taken new forms. Websites like Dictionary.com (http://Dictionary.com) and the crowdsourced Urban Dictionary redefine who has the power to declare what a word means or how it should be used. The rise of social movements has led to the birth of dictionaries for feminists, hackers, and more, each reflecting a facet of the world's ever-evolving ethos.Join us as we explore these stories with Bryan A. Garner and Jack Lynch, who have chronicled these epic battles and victories in their book, "Hardly Harmless Drudgery." Together, we will uncover the unsung heroes and unexpected stories behind the dictionaries that have defined, and redefined, the English language.Prepare to be challenged, enlightened, and inspired, as we turn the page on what you thought you knew about the words you use every day.Thanks for joining us today on the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview series (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/words-words-words)on radio and podcast.  My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to Executive Producer Sam Heninger (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-heninger-mba/)for his work and my thanks to you our wonderful audience.  Be well, be safe, and Let’s Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/words-words-words) on radio and podcast.

    Thelma Unleashed: June Squibb and Richard Roundtree's Epic Final Ride – A Tale of Grit, Humor, and Defiance at 93, Interview with “Thelma” writer-director Josh Margolin The Not Old Better Show Interview Series Welcome to a special episode of the Not Old Better Show, sponsored by MDHearing (http://shopmdhearing.com/) and Prolon (https://prolonlife.com/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=Podcast&utm_campaign=audio&utm_content=nb). where we dive into the poignant action-comedy film that is taking audiences by storm: "Thelma." (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/thelma_2024) This feature film directorial debut from our guest today Josh Margolin and  showcases the incredible talents of veteran Oscar® nominee June Squibb, in her first leading role, and the legendary Richard Roundtree, in his final performance. "Thelma" is not just a film; it's a celebration of resilience, humor, and the unyielding spirit of the elderly.  Thelma opens world wide on June 21 In "Thelma," June Squibb brings to life a feisty 93-year-old grandmother, Thelma Post, who finds herself the victim of a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, played by Fred Hechinger from "The White Lotus." Refusing to be seen as helpless, Thelma embarks on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles to reclaim her stolen $10,000. Her journey is hilariously action-packed and heartwarming, as she enlists the help of her old friend Ben, portrayed by the iconic Richard Roundtree. Together, they navigate the city on a motorized scooter, facing obstacles that would challenge even the likes of Ethan Hunt from "Mission: Impossible." This film, (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/thelma_2024) inspired by a real-life incident involving Margolin’s own grandmother, cleverly adapts action tropes to highlight the strength and agency of its elderly protagonist. Margolin’s script resonates with infectious humor and a touching narrative, earning rave reviews at this year’s Sundance Film Festival for its fresh take on familiar genres and its sensitive portrayal of aging. June Squibb’s portrayal of Thelma is nothing short of remarkable. Known for her early career as a dancer and singer, Squibb embraced the physicality of the role, performing most of her own stunts—including high-speed scooter chases and rolling across beds with a gun in hand—all while channeling the fierce determination of her character. Her connection to Thelma's sense of justice is deeply personal, shaped by her lifelong ethos of right and wrong, and her late husband’s belief that she could have made an excellent cop. The chemistry between Squibb and Roundtree is palpable, bringing to life a story filled with laughter, grit, and a profound sense of companionship. Margolin’s casting choice was driven by Squibb’s perfect blend of strength and vulnerability, humor and understatement—qualities that mirror his own grandmother’s indomitable spirit. As we explore this extraordinary film, we also ponder the possibilities of a sequel. After all, every great action hero deserves a franchise.

Today, we delve into a riveting chapter of American history with Smithsonian historian Jon Grinspan (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes), as we explore the story of the Wide Awakes (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes)—an extraordinary political movement that shaped the trajectory of our nation in the tumultuous years leading up to the Civil War.  Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan, (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) a returning guest, and Curator of Political History, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution will be appearting at Smithslonian Associates (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) coming up.  Please check out our show notes today for more information about Jon Grinspan’s upcoming Smithsonian Assocaites presentation (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes), titled, “The Wide Awakes: The Forgotten Force the Spurred the Civil War.” (https://books.apple.com/us/book/wide-awake/id6467622503) and available at Apple Books (https://books.apple.com/us/book/wide-awake/id6467622503).  But we have Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) today, to tell us more about his new book, ‘Wide Awake,” and his presentation at Smithsonian Associates. At the dawn of the 1860 presidential campaign, a small group of fervent young Northerners emerged to protect anti-slavery speakers from violent attacks. These individuals, calling themselves the Wide Awakes (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes), quickly grew into a massive movement, attracting hundreds of thousands of young men and women from diverse backgrounds. They marched through cities with torch-lit processions, their uniforms and disciplined formations creating a striking visual spectacle that captured the nation’s attention. But the impact of the Wide Awakes (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) extended far beyond their impressive marches. They became a powerful symbol of the fight for majority rule, the defense of free speech, and the relentless push against the institution of slavery. Their efforts played a critical role in the election of Abraham Lincoln and set the stage for the seismic shifts that would soon engulf the nation in civil war. In today's episode, Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) takes us on a journey through his latest book, "Wide Awake," providing a nuanced examination of this influential movement.

    Unveiling the Last Island: Smithsonian Assosciate Adam Goodheart's Journey into the World's Most Elusive Tribe The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/last-island) edition on radio and podcast. Today, we embark on a journey to one of the most mysterious and elusive places on Earth, North Sentinel Island, through the eyes of renowned historian, essayist, and journalist Adam Goodheart. Our guest today is here to discuss his latest book, "The Last Island: Discovery, Defiance, and the Most Elusive Tribe on Earth," a profound exploration of a world that has resisted the tides of modernity and globalization. In 2018, the world was captivated by the tragic story of a young American missionary who met his fate on the shores of North Sentinel Island, killed by the very people he sought to reach. This small island, nestled in the Andaman archipelago, is home to the Sentinelese, a tribe that has lived in near-total isolation for centuries, shunning all contact with the outside world. Their story, however, is not just one of isolation but of defiance, resilience, and a profound desire to remain untouched by the external forces that have reshaped the world around them. Smithsonian Associate Adam Goodheart, (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/last-island) a historian whose work has graced the pages of National Geographic, The Atlantic, and The New York Times, has spent years studying and writing about the intersections of history, culture, and identity. In "The Last Island," he weaves a narrative that is both historical and deeply personal, taking us through the centuries of interactions—often fraught and tragic—between the island's inhabitants and those who have attempted to bridge the divide. Today, we'll delve into the rich tapestry of stories that Adam has uncovered, from the Victorian photographers and imperial adventurers to modern-day anthropologists who have been drawn to North Sentinel Island's enigmatic shores. We'll explore the ethical complexities of interacting with isolated tribes, the lessons learned from colonial encounters, and the broader implications of modernity encroaching on these last bastions of traditional ways of life. As we navigate these compelling narratives, we'll also reflect on the broader questions of cultural preservation, autonomy, and the right to self-determination. What can we, as a global society, learn from the Sentinelese people and their steadfast commitment to their way of life? How do we balance the thirst for knowledge and connection with the respect for autonomy and privacy? Join us as we embark on this thought-provoking exploration with Adam Goodheart, and uncover the stories that lie at the heart of "The Last Island: Discovery, Defiance, and the Most Elusive Tribe on Earth." (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/last-island) (Now available at Apple Books) (https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-last-island/id1618487997) This episode promises to be a profound journey into the depths of human resilience, cultural defiance, and the enduring mysteries of one of the world's last truly isolated communities.Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast!

    Word Warriors: The Untold Chronicles of English-Language Dictionaries

    In the vast landscape of human knowledge, few artifacts hold as much power, mystery, and authority as the dictionary. It is not just a tool for understanding words, but a mirror reflecting the intricate tapestry of history, culture, and revolution. Today, we delve into a story that transcends mere words on a page. Welcome to "Words, Words, Words: English-Language Dictionaries and the People Who Made Them," a journey into the heart of language itself.Imagine a world where every word is a battleground, a site of struggle not just for meaning but for dominance. Here, giants like Samuel Johnson and Noah Webster didn't just write dictionaries; they shaped the very soul of a language. From the audacious efforts of James Murray with the Oxford English Dictionary to the defiant creation of the first dictionary by a Black American capturing the vibrant pulse of 'hepster jive', these were not just scholarly pursuits. They were acts of cultural defiance and intellectual heroism.But the story doesn't end in the past. As we step into the digital age, the battle for linguistic authority has taken new forms. Websites like Dictionary.com (http://Dictionary.com) and the crowdsourced Urban Dictionary redefine who has the power to declare what a word means or how it should be used. The rise of social movements has led to the birth of dictionaries for feminists, hackers, and more, each reflecting a facet of the world's ever-evolving ethos.Join us as we explore these stories with Bryan A. Garner and Jack Lynch, who have chronicled these epic battles and victories in their book, "Hardly Harmless Drudgery." Together, we will uncover the unsung heroes and unexpected stories behind the dictionaries that have defined, and redefined, the English language.Prepare to be challenged, enlightened, and inspired, as we turn the page on what you thought you knew about the words you use every day.Thanks for joining us today on the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview series (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/words-words-words)on radio and podcast.  My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show.  My thanks to Executive Producer Sam Heninger (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-heninger-mba/)for his work and my thanks to you our wonderful audience.  Be well, be safe, and Let’s Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/words-words-words) on radio and podcast.

    Thelma Unleashed: June Squibb and Richard Roundtree's Epic Final Ride – A Tale of Grit, Humor, and Defiance at 93, Interview with “Thelma” writer-director Josh Margolin The Not Old Better Show Interview Series Welcome to a special episode of the Not Old Better Show, sponsored by MDHearing (http://shopmdhearing.com/) and Prolon (https://prolonlife.com/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=Podcast&utm_campaign=audio&utm_content=nb). where we dive into the poignant action-comedy film that is taking audiences by storm: "Thelma." (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/thelma_2024) This feature film directorial debut from our guest today Josh Margolin and  showcases the incredible talents of veteran Oscar® nominee June Squibb, in her first leading role, and the legendary Richard Roundtree, in his final performance. "Thelma" is not just a film; it's a celebration of resilience, humor, and the unyielding spirit of the elderly.  Thelma opens world wide on June 21 In "Thelma," June Squibb brings to life a feisty 93-year-old grandmother, Thelma Post, who finds herself the victim of a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, played by Fred Hechinger from "The White Lotus." Refusing to be seen as helpless, Thelma embarks on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles to reclaim her stolen $10,000. Her journey is hilariously action-packed and heartwarming, as she enlists the help of her old friend Ben, portrayed by the iconic Richard Roundtree. Together, they navigate the city on a motorized scooter, facing obstacles that would challenge even the likes of Ethan Hunt from "Mission: Impossible." This film, (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/thelma_2024) inspired by a real-life incident involving Margolin’s own grandmother, cleverly adapts action tropes to highlight the strength and agency of its elderly protagonist. Margolin’s script resonates with infectious humor and a touching narrative, earning rave reviews at this year’s Sundance Film Festival for its fresh take on familiar genres and its sensitive portrayal of aging. June Squibb’s portrayal of Thelma is nothing short of remarkable. Known for her early career as a dancer and singer, Squibb embraced the physicality of the role, performing most of her own stunts—including high-speed scooter chases and rolling across beds with a gun in hand—all while channeling the fierce determination of her character. Her connection to Thelma's sense of justice is deeply personal, shaped by her lifelong ethos of right and wrong, and her late husband’s belief that she could have made an excellent cop. The chemistry between Squibb and Roundtree is palpable, bringing to life a story filled with laughter, grit, and a profound sense of companionship. Margolin’s casting choice was driven by Squibb’s perfect blend of strength and vulnerability, humor and understatement—qualities that mirror his own grandmother’s indomitable spirit. As we explore this extraordinary film, we also ponder the possibilities of a sequel. After all, every great action hero deserves a franchise.

Today, we delve into a riveting chapter of American history with Smithsonian historian Jon Grinspan (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes), as we explore the story of the Wide Awakes (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes)—an extraordinary political movement that shaped the trajectory of our nation in the tumultuous years leading up to the Civil War.  Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan, (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) a returning guest, and Curator of Political History, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution will be appearting at Smithslonian Associates (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) coming up.  Please check out our show notes today for more information about Jon Grinspan’s upcoming Smithsonian Assocaites presentation (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes), titled, “The Wide Awakes: The Forgotten Force the Spurred the Civil War.” (https://books.apple.com/us/book/wide-awake/id6467622503) and available at Apple Books (https://books.apple.com/us/book/wide-awake/id6467622503).  But we have Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) today, to tell us more about his new book, ‘Wide Awake,” and his presentation at Smithsonian Associates. At the dawn of the 1860 presidential campaign, a small group of fervent young Northerners emerged to protect anti-slavery speakers from violent attacks. These individuals, calling themselves the Wide Awakes (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes), quickly grew into a massive movement, attracting hundreds of thousands of young men and women from diverse backgrounds. They marched through cities with torch-lit processions, their uniforms and disciplined formations creating a striking visual spectacle that captured the nation’s attention. But the impact of the Wide Awakes (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) extended far beyond their impressive marches. They became a powerful symbol of the fight for majority rule, the defense of free speech, and the relentless push against the institution of slavery. Their efforts played a critical role in the election of Abraham Lincoln and set the stage for the seismic shifts that would soon engulf the nation in civil war. In today's episode, Smithsonian Associate Jon Grinspan (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/wide-awakes) takes us on a journey through his latest book, "Wide Awake," providing a nuanced examination of this influential movement.

    Unveiling the Last Island: Smithsonian Assosciate Adam Goodheart's Journey into the World's Most Elusive Tribe The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/last-island) edition on radio and podcast. Today, we embark on a journey to one of the most mysterious and elusive places on Earth, North Sentinel Island, through the eyes of renowned historian, essayist, and journalist Adam Goodheart. Our guest today is here to discuss his latest book, "The Last Island: Discovery, Defiance, and the Most Elusive Tribe on Earth," a profound exploration of a world that has resisted the tides of modernity and globalization. In 2018, the world was captivated by the tragic story of a young American missionary who met his fate on the shores of North Sentinel Island, killed by the very people he sought to reach. This small island, nestled in the Andaman archipelago, is home to the Sentinelese, a tribe that has lived in near-total isolation for centuries, shunning all contact with the outside world. Their story, however, is not just one of isolation but of defiance, resilience, and a profound desire to remain untouched by the external forces that have reshaped the world around them. Smithsonian Associate Adam Goodheart, (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/last-island) a historian whose work has graced the pages of National Geographic, The Atlantic, and The New York Times, has spent years studying and writing about the intersections of history, culture, and identity. In "The Last Island," he weaves a narrative that is both historical and deeply personal, taking us through the centuries of interactions—often fraught and tragic—between the island's inhabitants and those who have attempted to bridge the divide. Today, we'll delve into the rich tapestry of stories that Adam has uncovered, from the Victorian photographers and imperial adventurers to modern-day anthropologists who have been drawn to North Sentinel Island's enigmatic shores. We'll explore the ethical complexities of interacting with isolated tribes, the lessons learned from colonial encounters, and the broader implications of modernity encroaching on these last bastions of traditional ways of life. As we navigate these compelling narratives, we'll also reflect on the broader questions of cultural preservation, autonomy, and the right to self-determination. What can we, as a global society, learn from the Sentinelese people and their steadfast commitment to their way of life? How do we balance the thirst for knowledge and connection with the respect for autonomy and privacy? Join us as we embark on this thought-provoking exploration with Adam Goodheart, and uncover the stories that lie at the heart of "The Last Island: Discovery, Defiance, and the Most Elusive Tribe on Earth." (https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/last-island) (Now available at Apple Books) (https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-last-island/id1618487997) This episode promises to be a profound journey into the depths of human resilience, cultural defiance, and the enduring mysteries of one of the world's last truly isolated communities.Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast!
