Best of Enemies - Author Eric Dezenhall

The Not Old Better Show, Author Interview Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, I’m Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #361. Today’s show is brought to you by Heaven’s Maid.

As part of our Art of Living, author interview series, our guest today is award award winning author, journalist, crisis and damage control communications expert and thought leader Eric Dezenhall.

I first became aware of Eric Dezenhall because of his nationally recognized high stakes communications firm, in his role as damage control media expert.

• Glass Jaw: A Manifesto for Defending Fragile Reputations in an Age of Instant Scandal

• Money Wanders
• Jackie Disaster
• Shakedown Beach
• Turnpike Flameout
• Spinning Dixie

And the fascinating account of the collaboration between the U.S. Navy and organized crime during World War II to secure American ports from Nazi attack, titled ‘The Devil Himself.’

These books have a hilarious sense of humor, as does the man, Eric Dezenhall, himself. Most of the books are set in New Jersey, where Dezenhall himself grew up. But also, Atlantic City, specifically, and star Dezenhall’s alter ego, J
