Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Inside Science author interview series on radio and podcast. Today’s show is brought to you by Harry’s, created for a different shaving experience, and NextEVO Naturals Better Science, Smarter CBD.  I’m Paul Vogelzang, and we have an excellent program about the egg.  Our guest today, author, science writer, and journalist Lizzie Stark and I will discuss the egg’s unconventional history of the world’s largest cellular workhorse, from chickens to penguins, from art to crime, and more.

I’ll introduce Lizzie Stark in just a moment, but quickly, if you missed any shows recently, last week was our 700th episode for Women’s History month, and I spoke with returning guest Smithsonian Associate, journalist, and author Rebecca Boggs Roberts, who has written the new book, Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson   Two weeks ago, I spoke with #1 NYT bestselling author Mark Greaney about his new book, part of The Gray Man series, “Burner,” already a bestseller. Excellent subjects for our Not Old Better Show audience…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

From Mali to Finland, mythologies around the globe have invested the egg with powers of regeneration and fecundity, often ascribing the origin of the world to a cosmic egg. An oracle to Romans, fought over by Gold Rush gangs, used as the foundation of the Clown Egg Registry, and blasted into space, the egg has taken on larger proportions than, say, the ovum of an ostrich.  Lizzie Stark and I will discuss egg’s deep meanings, innumerable uses, and metabolic importance along with all of Lizzie Stark’s research from her new book, Egg: A Dozen Ovatures…
