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

Please join me in welcoming to The No Old Better Show on radio, podcast, author, science writer, and journalist Lizzie Stark.
