STEVE STOLIAR on “The Avrum Rosensweig Show” Discussing SALAMIS & SWASTIKAS: LETTERS HOME FROM A G.I. JEW 12/7/25

Here’s another podcast I did with Avrum Rosensweig, only this time, it’s (almost) all about the book of my father’s wartime letters, SALAMIS & SWASTIKAS: LETTERS HOME FROM A G.I. JEW. We discuss the war, my father’s travels, the home front, the experience of being a secular Jew fighting the Nazis, his frustration at not being home to watch his toddler daughter growing up, etc. Along the way, he has numerous side adventures with various townspeople and fellow soldiers, plus thumbnail reviews of then-current movies and songs. Despite the dark subject, Avrum and I still manage to have a lot of fun along the way discussing my father’s letters.

THE LIVES THEY’RE LIVING Podcast w/Ben Yagoda: STEVE STOLIAR On DICK CAVETT 5/22/24

Here’s something of a change of pace: I talk about my longtime friendship with DICK CAVETT, as well as Cavett’s life and career in general. Of course, there’s some talk of Groucho, since ’twas he who brought us together, but there’s a lot of information not covered in the other podcasts I’ve done. Enjoy!
