On this episode of Focused, Mike and I welcome historian Liz Covart, host of Ben Franklin’s World. We talk about making time for reading and research when you don’t have a finished piece to show for it.

Liz explains where robots help her find research and where she keeps the thinking and interview questions to herself. I share how I dictate book notes while the thought is still fresh. We also talk about why a new app can wait until the current project is finished.
