For the Memorial Day Weekend, we feature a number of conversations from the TDS Archive, beginning with a chat over coffee Tim had with his 98-year old neighbor & WW II veteran Nick Pileggi a few years ago.
Montel Williams (former TV talk show host and Marine & Navy veteran) shares about his book The Sailing of the Intrepid: The Incredible Wartime Voyage of the Navy's Iconic Aircraft Carrier. Williams currently hosts "Military Makeover with Montel" on Lifetime.
Karin Tanabe & Victoria Kelly (journalists & authors) team up to share about their documentary "Atomic Echoes: Untold Stories of World War II." Tanabe is a first-generation Japanese-American whose uncle was the first president of Hiroshima University, while Kelly's grandfather is a WWII atomic veteran--one of the first Americans to enter Nagasaki after the atomic bomb.
We close out the show with Meathead, one of several dozen living Barbecue Hall of Famers and publisher of the most popular grilling & BBQ website in the world (www.AmazingRibs.com) regarding his book The Meathead Method: A BBQ Hall of Famer's Secrets and Science on BBQ, Grilling, and Outdoor Cooking with 114 Recipes.
