The Address Book (author interview) - a podcast by USC Bedrosian Center

An interview with author of The Address Book, Deirdre Mask.

The Address Book is a broad look at the invention and proliferation of the address. Relatively new, addresses were first a way for royals to count their subjects. Today, addresses can reflect our identity, our history, our race, and our access to opportunity. With the postal service in jeopardy, and the world in disarray, settle in for an interview with a beguiling author.

Explore the many ways a simple address can change lives, cities, and the future.
