In the first episode of the JEA One Book podcast, PR/Publications chair Evelyn Lauer interviews journalist Charles Fishman who co-wrote “A Curious Mind: The Secret to a Bigger Life.”

Fishman discusses the genesis of the project and partnership with Hollywood producer Brian Grazer, who co-authored the book. He also offers tips on how teachers can foster curiosity in their students — and, in turn, how students can become more curious as young journalists. If you’ve ever heard a student say, “There’s nothing going” or “I have nothing to cover,” you’ll want to listen.

The JEA One Book podcast is produced and edited by Matt Rasgorshek.
