The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and as part of our Art Of Living interview series, we have an excellent program about all-daring and all-voice, magnificent and maddening, improbable and irreplaceable, Barbra Streisand.  Our guest today is Smithsonian Associate Sara Lukinson .  Sara Lukinson will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, and the title of Sara Lukinson’s presentation is Barbra Streisand: She’s All That.

Thank you so much for listening. We’ve got a great guest today for our  Art Of Living interview series with Smithsonian Associate Sara Lukinson.  Smithsonian Associate Sara Lukinson is a popular returning guest on the program whom I always look forward to speaking with, and I’ll introduce her in just a moment.  But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 703rd episode when I spoke to Smithsonian Associate, scientist, journalist, and author Kelly Beatty.  For the past 35 years, J. Kelly Beatty has kept his readers on the edge of their front-row seats to much of the exploration of our solar system as senior editor of Sky & Telescope.  Two weeks ago, as part of our Smithsonian Women’s History Month Series, I spoke with journalist, activist, historian, and author of the new book, “Formidable: American Women and the Fight for Equality: 1920-2020”   Excellent subjects for our Not Old Better Show audience, especially during Women’s History Month…If you missed those shows, along with any others, you can go back and check them out with my entire back catalog of shows, all free for you, there on our website, NotOld-Better.com

She’s all-daring and all-voice, magnificent and maddening, improbable and irreplaceable. We might sometimes poke fun at her (she does) or say she’s “last year,” but when she starts to sing, she can still your heart or lift you over the moon. She’s a sorceress of notes, a Circe of song, who covers pop tunes, show tunes, movie tunes, and Sondheim with ease. And then there are her movies—funny, tender, or over the top. Join me with documentary filmmaker, writer, and Smithsonian Associate Sara Lukinson for a wide-ranging, fun conversation about the magnificent woman we know as “La Streisand.”
