In today's show, we're going to discuss the dreams and aspirations that sometimes face off against greater values as we delve into the never-built ski resort envisioned by Walt Disney. We're joined by authors Kathryn Mayer and Greg Glasgow to discuss their new book, 'Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was.' Last week, in our 737th episode, we had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Howard Chang about his 40-year battle with psoriasis and the healthcare inequities people of color face. Two weeks ago, we discussed family practice and the emerging field of cannabis medicine with Dr. Bridget Cole Williams.

The story of Walt Disney's vision touches on the idea of late-in-life dreams and how those can conflict with broader societal concerns, which is a subject relevant to your aging audience.  As adults over 60, many of your listeners might be interested in leaving a legacy for the next generation. This story touches on the importance of environmental protection, a legacy that impacts everyone.  The story also coincides with the 100th anniversary of the Disney Company, offering a moment to reflect on the cultural impact that one person or organization can have over a century. That of course, is our guest today, Greg Glasgow, reading from the new book he’s co-authored with our other guest Kathryn Mayer, the title of the new book and subject of our interview, 'Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort That Never Was.' please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast authors Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer.
