#671 The Future of the US Constitution - Clay Jenkinson
The Future of the US Constitution - Clay Jenkinson The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's show is part of our Smithsonian Associates Art of Living Interview series. Thank you so much for listening. We've got a great returning guest today, whom I'll introduce in just a moment…But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 670th episode, and I spoke to Smithsonian Associate and Pulitzer-prize winning author Stacy Schiff about her new book and upcoming Smithsonian Associates presentation about Samuel Adams, titled "The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams." Two weeks ago in another great interview, I spoke to comedian and host of the popular podcast "Carson Podcast," funny man himself, Mark Malkoff. Wonderful stuff…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…and if you leave a review, we will read it at the end of each show…leave reviews on Apple Podcasts for us. Our guest today is award-winning historian, author, and public humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson who'll introduce us to the US Constitution…yes, the US Constitution, which is a document worth paying A LOT of attention to these days, and a document getting A LOT of attention these days, for good reason, too. Clay Jenkinson will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up, but we have Clay Jenkinson today and will chat all about the United States Constitution, which was written in the 18th century, in a three-mile-per-hour world, by white privileged men in wigs and buckled shoes. It has been amended only 27 times in 235 years, the first 10 right off the bat in the Bill of Rights. The question we'll talk about today with Clay Jenkinson is whether the Constitution is still the right blueprint for the most powerful country in the world at a time of breathtaking social and technological change, or whether it is time to amend or replace it with something more relevant to the opportunities and challenges of our times. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast award-winning historian, author, and public humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson. Please check out our website for more details about Smithsonian Associates, and let's welcome Clay Jenkinson. My thanks to Clay Jenkinson.

Thomas Jefferson once asserted that "for depth of purpose, zeal, and sagacity, no man in Congress exceeded, if any equaled Sam Adams." John Adams called him "the most elegant writer, the most sagacious politician, and celebrated patriot perhaps of all." But in spite of his celebrated status among America's Founding Fathers as a revolutionary leader, Samuel Adams' life and achievements have been largely overshadowed in the history books. In a spirited conversation today with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff who'll be appearing at Smithsonian Associates with show favorite Rebecca Boggs Roberts, we will examine this often-overlooked US Constitution founder, Samuel Adams, following his transformation from the listless, failing son of a wealthy family into the tireless, silver-tongued revolutionary who rallied the likes of John Hancock and John Adams behind him. Including a wonderful reading by Stacy Schiff, from chapter 2 in her new book: 'The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams.' And 'A Voice in the Darkness…A Knock on the Door.' That, of course, is our guest today, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff, reading from her new book, 'The Revolutionary: Samu Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast!
