The Other Gershwin, part 2, with author Michael Owen

BROADWAY NATION

This is the second episode of my three-part conversation with author, historian, researcher, and archivist, Michael Owen, whose recent book, Ira Gershwin — A Life in Words, is the first full-length biography devoted to that outstanding artist who penned the words for many of the greatest songs of the 20th Century.

If you missed part one, you may want to catch up with that before listening to this one.

Michael Owen is also the author of Go Slow — The Life of Jule London and the editor of The Gershwins Abroad.
