“Couldn’t you see Ben Franklin using noise-cancelling headphones and a MacBook Air Pro?” - Eric Weiner
Is that a big stretch or not so much? While Ben was one of the United States’ founders and earliest statesmen and diplomats, he also was a scientist—remember his experiment with the kite and key?—and a writer—Poor Richard’s Almanac, remember that? But what else did he do? A lot, as it turns out, some of it little known and some of it just so little known as to be forgotten. Not all of it was great or brilliant but some of it was both of those things and more.
Writer Eric Weiner set out to discover as much as he could about old Ben and to use what he learned to help himself lead his own long and useful life, as it seemed Ben had done. In this episode of Upstart Crow, Eric discusses the resulting book, Ben and Me, with host William Miller.
