On this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will be talking to Paula J. Johnson, the Curator and Project Director of The American Food History Project at The Smithsonian National Museum of American History. They will discuss her remarkable book, “Julia Child’s Kitchen: The Design, Tools, Stories and Legacy of an Iconic Space.” Julia’s kitchen is now on display at the Smithsonian and Paula played an important role in bringing it to the museum.
Simon and Paula will also discuss Julia’s love of her kitchen; the workings of Julia’s kitchen; Julia’s love affair with her husband; various guests, like James Beard and Jacques Pepin, who came to see Julia in the kitchen; the development of the kitchen as Julia’s first television set; and more. The kitchen was more than just a workplace for Julia. Paula explains why and why the kitchen now has pride of place in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
