I must have skipped breakfast or something because I've got that on my mind. She is the author of the latest book to come out called The Magic Buttons Fantasy Flight, a 250-year journey to freedom out May 26, 2026,
Starting point is 00:02:56 by Swapna Gangopatai. Welcome to the show. How are you, young lady? I'm doing great, and especially being with you. Thank you, and being with you as well. This is the best way for me to start my Monday. And give us dot com's websites, social media. We're on the internet. Do you want people to get to know you better?
Starting point is 00:03:15 Of course. Hi, everybody. Please visit my website, dreamywriter.com. And you will get all the. information about the current book, past published books, and the books those are coming. So you have complete information on my website. And moreover, you can also get all the link for my YouTube, Facebook channel. And interesting thing is, in the YouTube channel, you can get all the videos, trailers, and the videos.
Starting point is 00:03:58 So give us a 30,000 overview. What's inside your new book? Good. And first, I want to, again, thank you for having me. It's my pleasure being with you. And thank you for coming. Thanks. Now, let me start with the overview of the book.
Starting point is 00:04:21 The overview of the book would be My main intention was to share our journey to freedom American independence to our children and young adults. I wanted to let them know how we got it, how important it is, and how our past heroes and also common people were. so hard to achieve that. And this year is the year of 250 years we're completing. And we are going to celebrate. It's a kind of coincidence. It came to my mind that all of a sudden that we have to do something to celebrate. And what else other way to celebrate? Share with all our young children who are the next generation and who are going to carry this freedom forward.
Starting point is 00:05:32 And they need to learn how to keep it alive and how to protect it, right? Yeah, that's really important. I often say on the show and people in real life, each of us are stewards of our democracy. Exactly. A little of it we have left now at this point. And we need to protect it. We need to fight for it. We need to debate for it.
Starting point is 00:05:53 We need to stay in touch with what politicians are doing. We need to be active in our government's interest. And I heard this saying this morning from someone, I think it was on TikTok, and it was the saying, let's see, what was it? Love your country, but never trust your government. So true. True, true. Power corrupts.
Starting point is 00:06:19 It really is. I remember talking, I can't remember the journals we had on the show, but I remember talking to her about how. how maybe some presidents might have less curfuffles of narcissistic interest. And she said to me, power corrupts everyone. And there's always people that are embarrassed. They don't want people to know maybe they screwed up as a president or as a politician, Senate, House, Congress, your HOA person.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Yeah, yeah, start there. Politics is local. So, yeah, this is really important. It's a great time. I lived through 1776, which was a celebration, I think, of our 200-year anniversary, which I just realized I just dated myself by 50 years. I feel old. I'm going to go rub some Bengay on myself. Oh, you were not old.
Starting point is 00:07:10 You were only 50? 58. 58. I was, so I would have been eight years old in 1977. It's new. 40. The new 48 is 58. I like how were you thinking here.
Starting point is 00:07:28 So, yeah, 20 years ago, I was at 70, 76, the celebration for America. It's 200 anniversary. And I don't know, if I get lucky, I'll be here for the 300th. Why not? That just makes me even more tired. So what was the, was there a magic moment? Was there a magic moment? Was there a, was there a inspirational moment when you're like, I want to write this book about the 200,
Starting point is 00:07:53 for your journey. Of course. I have two young granddaughters, and I always make up stories for them. And that's the way my first book came. I will tell you later. This one also, they were, I wanted to let them know that it's 250 years of our American independence. And we have to value. And we have to value it. We have to respect it. We have to appreciate. And they said, what do you mean? They are very young. They don't understand the independence and all other stuff. And then I thought maybe I should write a book in a way, in a fun way, so that I can explain to them how it happened. And at their level. And at the same time, it should be historical facts, and I don't change anything.
Starting point is 00:08:59 I don't annoy any historical leaders and other people. So I wanted to start. And my main thing came in my head that, let me start with children. Actually, the main roles in this book are five siblings and their grandpa. Instead of grandma, they had all five siblings, went to Grandpa and said, Grandpa, we have an emergency. When Grandpa said, what kind of emergency do you have? And they said, historical emergency.
Starting point is 00:09:41 We need to learn about the history, American independence. It's 250 years and everybody is going to celebrate, but we don't know about anything about this history. Then Janper says, okay, I will do that, but I cannot do in this outfit. It's a regular common outfit, go and find my Minutman's out. from the attic. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:10:14 And all the children run to the attic, they go there, they find Grandpa's Minute Man outfit, but they find something more. And what's that? That's the, that's a magic button.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Oh, wow. And that is written liberty on it. Oh, with liberty written on it. Right. And the big brother said, don't touch it. It looks like magical. And the young baby brother, his name is Walter. He is an interesting character in this book.
Starting point is 00:10:56 He all on a sudden pushes the button. That's the place it starts. The magical journey starts. Ah, the magical journey begins. All of a sudden, that, a 250 years old, wise owl appears, shows up. Oh, wow. She takes the children in her magical carpet to different places.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Oh, wow. And it starts from, he takes, she takes them to 1763, the grumble in the woods. And from there, she takes them to the Western Tea Party. Oh, wow. They're going to have some fun. And then that's the fun part. I'm going to tell you the little Walter says,
Starting point is 00:11:59 oh, my God, why? They are throwing all the tea in the ocean. That's a big cup. Big cup. And then everybody starts laughing. And the big sister said, Walter, they're not making tea. They're making protesting. Making protest soup.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Yeah. And then it's too much for Walter, his baby Walter. But anyway, from there, they go to Independence Hall. And they see the John Hancock and Washington, they are writing the, the Declaration of Independence. Then they come back to also talk about the piece from after writing on 1776, the independence declaring that it was not done completely.
Starting point is 00:13:03 There were some more who were waiting for them, more struggle. I explained they watched that. And finally, when, they are ready to go back home, Ms. Burnaby says, not yet. We need to talk about unsung heroes. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Yeah, and then Little Walter says, oh, unsung heroes means they can't see. I can teach them. And then everybody laughs and says, no, no, no, you don't understand what is unsung heroes. Anyway, then Bernaby, Ms. Burnaby talks about Molly Pitcher and all other people who help them to really get their common people to get the final independence. Molly Pitcher, I think I met those people at Coachella. Is that how that works with Molly?
Starting point is 00:14:10 I'm just doing a Molly Coachella Joe there. And you know that in New Jersey. there is a hotel, Molly Peacher Inn. Oh, really? Yeah, I think you're part of that. Yeah. And in New Jersey, also, there is one, I think restaurant used to be called Minuteman store or Minuteman restaurant. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Yeah. I know some husbands that eat there. Oh, that's a joke. Anyway, I'm not sure what it means, but that sounds funny in my head. Right. So you have a Minuteman restaurant, these folks. So it's kids going to the adventure now. There's four or five of these kids, I'm guessing, because I'm looking at the cover.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Five kids. So it's like a family kid story. Yeah. Through, you know, this magic button that they found that helps them transport through time. Is it like... Right. With the help of Wise Owl. The Wise Ow.
Starting point is 00:15:09 I met a Wise Owl one time on it, but it was mostly just the medibles I took. So we did go on a trip though in the past. That was out. Yeah. It was mostly just colors and stuff. And weird animals. And it was a lot of Grateful Dead songs, basically. Anyway, Grateful Dead jokes on Monday on the Chris Vos show.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Tune in next time. Anyway, so this is really great. And so the great thing about writing children's books with all the children's books, authors like yourself that we have on the show is they really help see the imagination that children have so wonderful. and it's so glorious. And when you get older, you're like, God, I wish I still had that magical imagination,
Starting point is 00:15:50 especially when you're sitting in jail and in the drunk tank overnight. And you're like, I wish I had an imagination now. No, I'm just kidding. Don't do that, folks. But having books like this that helps spur their emotion, their imagination, but also raise their intellectual knowledge of real events. But you're making it fun.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Because I remember when I went through history class, I think I flunked history or got a D-minus in it. It was annoying. I was boring. But when you make it magical like you have with them transporting through time and there's a special owl, that sounds like a way funner story. Like, why can't we, why don't we just have a Benjamin Franklin owl story or something? Because when I was a kid, they said out Benjamin Franklin was out there with a key and he invented lightning or lights or something. with his kite, right? That was a fun story, right?
Starting point is 00:16:45 But some of the other things like they said in a committee and debated for weeks at a time with the Declaration of Independence, ah, it's kind of boring. You are giving me ideas. If I still go. Do you anticipate a book, too,
Starting point is 00:17:00 of this book? A continuum of the characters in the out? I'm thinking about it. Yeah, I have a couple of ideas that I'm going to come start writing. I had rub drafts, but it's very important to teach our children right way. As you said, history sometimes is so boring.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Children do not get interested. So we have to make it interesting for them. And that's my goal. And especially some of the scientific items like AI, wireless technology. what those come from. Children say, oh, I don't know, I don't know. I don't have to know. But yes, you do.
Starting point is 00:17:51 You need to know what they're coming from. That's why I have another book coming. It's talking about invisible light, which is wireless radio signals. Radio waves. Radio webs and radio technology. And that also triggered with my discussion. of a couple of children, I was talking to my nephew and he says they are young adults. They said, oh, Auntie, you are old.
Starting point is 00:18:20 You always like the radio. You talk about radio. And we don't listen radio anymore. Radio is old-fashioned. I said, no, ma'am. Wait, I'm on a podcast. It's still new fashion. Radio is still going.
Starting point is 00:18:38 You are carrying a radio in your podcast. And she looked at me and she said, no. I said, yes, show me. Here is my cell phone, she said. I said cell phone started best on radio signal, radio technology. Yeah. So you are using radio. You're listening to that old technology.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Right. And then they started asking me, it's like, is giving them the point or kind of pointers to start, ignite their curiosity. And they started asking me, oh, really? How did it happen? What is invisible light? As in 150 years ago, Sad Jagadish Chandar Bose, he proved that invisible light. The light you cannot see, but it carries the signal that helps you to understand and all these to improve or build those technologies. Yeah. Your phone, your podcast, your microwave, you are doing your snacks warming up your snacks.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I think I'm going to start podcasting from the microwave. I think I'm going to start podcasting from the microwave. That sounds good. then I can make popcorn well. Maybe we can do one second. Yeah. Probably have that. You know, if you're too close to the microwave,
Starting point is 00:20:18 it does that, it'll create electronics noise. That's probably what it would do the whole time and I'm trying to make popcorn while we haven't on the show. Now, do you see this as being a series, like a multitude of books or maybe just one in the future? Or is it still out for debate?
Starting point is 00:20:35 No. Chris, thanks for asking that question. I'm just trying to pile a lot of pressure. I have at least four or five drafts ready. My main goal is communicating with our children and young adults about technology, history, and science. I have one book. It could be a steam helper, how plant life works. And who invented that plant has a life?
Starting point is 00:21:11 Sar Jagadish Chandrabos also invented. And he created some machine to show these plants are not object. They have life. So that one is a sunflower. If it's a sunflower, that young sunflower, they need energy. So what they do in the morning, they face to the east. And drink some coffee? Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:42 And they moved to the west all the way. That's my version of coffee. That is. Yeah, yeah. I have a book about. I turn in face the espresso machine. That's what I do. Express a machine.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Yeah. That's where I get my son from. We need coffee. You need the morning, especially at my... Yeah, and they need the sun energy from the sun. Yeah. Then I go out in the sun and hang out with the sun. But coffee before everything.
Starting point is 00:22:15 No coffee, no talkie. No coffee, no talkie. There's a yellow warning sign on the top. My eyes do not open. Yeah. What is my coffee? This is great. You see, this is a multi-book series coming out.
Starting point is 00:22:30 And it's a great celebration for the 250 anniversary of a America. Now, do you anticipate putting all those out this year during the 250 celebration, or this is going to be staggered through several years in the future? Maybe a couple of years. It will be staggered for a couple of years. You're talking about 250 years. You can face yourself, spread it out every 50 years or something. Every five years. Because I'm not that young. I don't have much time. Oh, we got plenty of time. We got. I'm going to see you at the 300 anniversary.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Because we were both at 1776 in 2026. We wish we can be it. We can be at the next one. What's the next one? 226 plus 50. So 2076. I'll see you there today. And we'll be there.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I don't know that I won't be able to feel my legs, but I can't feel them now. So that's, I can't feel anything. I was also talking to my friends and they were saying they have seen. several movies and also many shows about the American independence for adults. But she was saying that I didn't see too many for the children. Yeah. Your book could be a good one for the children. I said, I wish somebody helps me to do that.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Yeah. Yeah. And this is where it's really important because a lot of these children, I grew up in an era where the USSR was threats of nuclear bombing. And every day we'd have a one or two times a day, we'd have a nuclear bomb drill and we'd hide under these deaths that clearly would not save you from a nuclear bomb. I don't know what we were hoping would happen, especially around zero, which I was in L.A. growing up. So tell us a little bit about yourself. Tell us about your background and how you're going to. you were raised to give us some of the details on your journey and being a dreamer, etc., etc. Okay. Thank you for asking that question. I have an interesting background, and I come from a family where all boys and I was the girl. You were the only girl? Yeah, I was the only girl. I have uncles and brothers and nephew, nephew. But I was dressed like one of the boys. I had equal rights.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Yeah. And I always, today I appreciate more than before that my parents never discriminate me as a, oh, you are the girl. You are supposed to do this or that. Yeah. And I was very liberated type of environment. I was raised. I was raised. So I am thankful for that.
Starting point is 00:25:38 And I came to study to continue my education, postgraduate education to this country. And I had a radio physics background master's in physics and radio physics and math, wide math. Then I come over here and my advisor advised me that do some studies on expand your knowledge in computer. Do a master's in computer instead of physics right away. And I took his advice. I had some computer background in my country. I took some courses and I was good at it and I was very much interested. And my advisor, when he advised me to go for computer, and I was excited.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I did my master's. Then I worked for big companies like Texas Instrument. And there were a couple of, I was in Houston. I worked for a couple of oil companies, Dr. Dr.S.R. Atlas, NL Industries, writing the program for drilling, seismic data analysis and those kind of things those days. And you will be surprised in 83, 84, that time frame, I started working for Texas Instrument. And Texas Instrument came up with a TI Explorer, that AI-based computer.
Starting point is 00:27:19 And that early, I was involved in AI, and they taught me they had it. an excellent lab in Dallas. We used to go there, travel every week, and they taught me how to use AI, learn AI. Wow. And the purpose of that program was to analyze log data and seismic data and predict what the oil could be based on the porosity, permeability, all those things. And Texas Institute, I learned a lot. They are excellent. excellent company. Then I moved to AT&T Bill Laboratories and in New Jersey. And that was the heaven of learning.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Excellent opportunity. I'm still grateful for that job. I started working in 85-86 time frame. I started working for writing program as a junior. a programmer to write programs for wireless phone, how it works. And those days, nobody had phone in their pocket. Only people, they had a big phone. Remember, they used to carry rich people?
Starting point is 00:28:47 Oh, yeah, I used to have a big brick phone, one of those early ones. You were rich. In pounds, it was like this big. Yeah, I had one of those early ones. Like a brick. Yeah, you could, if you ever, you need to use it as a weapon to defend yourself, you're getting mugged in an alleyway or something. I think it was a weapon, man.
Starting point is 00:29:04 You could, somebody kill it. Yeah, in the car. They used to have in the car also. Yeah. But I used to. Sometimes you have to kill people in the car. You're attacked. It's all defense.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Good weapon. That's a good weapon to have. But then, then after you beat them, you can call an ambulance for him. See? It has a dual, dual use. purpose. And we started with a very early technology, Amst technology. Then we moved to CDMA, TDMA, GSM, 1G, 2G, 5G. Oh, yeah. You name it, you name it. I have been there, done that, and I have seen a lot. I'll bet. That would have been fun to see the early phones. Some of my friends worked on the iPhone.
Starting point is 00:29:52 He was one of the team of 12. I think it was that built the iPhone. and what an amazing thing. He was actually one of the first people who had to test. He had to test porn on the iPhone to make sure that the browser worked. Because usually that's the sort of thing that leads most technology. Maybe when cable TV came out. People were like, oh, no, that's, you get to cable TV if you're into porn. And then eventually became like HBO and normal stuff.
Starting point is 00:30:17 But, you know, it was funny. All the first they were going through where they're just like, yeah, we got to test it out, make sure it works, make sure the keyboards work, the browsers work, all the different apps work. Yeah, it's wild. About testing, let me tell you a funny story. Testing the phone, I was writing the code for making the phone call works. Those days, the only thing you could do with the cell phone is make the phone call works. You can call someone.
Starting point is 00:30:48 I was taking vacation, and I was taking my daughter on her fifth birthday. day to Disney World. And we went there. Before going there, my boss said, Ms. Wapna, why don't you take a phone and you can test it? I said, I'm on vacation. I said, oh, yeah. He said, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:31:14 I will pay you extra hours. Go and test it from Florida. I said, okay, I will do that. You don't have to pay me hours. but I will get because carrying those phone was not very. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Get a hernia carrying that thing around.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Yeah, it got to carry. But anyway, I took that phone. Every time when I got time, standing on the line and waiting for interest, I used to use that phone to call and make sure I call my colleagues, my boss, make sure the call is completing. Yeah. Now, the funny part is, as soon as I started calling, people started surrounding me, around me, they started coming around me and started asking, can use that phone? Oh, my God, it's so exciting. Can you call? Can I call my mom? I said, why not? And everybody, my friends who went with me, they said, the people came to walk.
Starting point is 00:32:23 the Disney world and they are now watching your phone. How funny it is. Let me lead you into the book, A Bad Mouse Ruins the House. This is a part of the book you've written. Tell us a little bit about this one, if you would. Okay. That one is really interesting and it's a part of it. Most of it, my imagination, but part of it,
Starting point is 00:32:53 original thought came from a practical experience. One day, I saw a mouse in my house. We used to live in a big house, but the mouse was running around, and I saw that, and I saw the drops, mouse drops, and I told my husband that, you know, we have a mouse, and I'm very much scared of mouse. Because it's not that I'm scared of, scared of mouse. I'm scared of mouse can, how much damage a mouse can do in the house.
Starting point is 00:33:34 And my husband said, no, there is no mouse. It happened a couple of times, but finally he agreed. He saw a big hole in our laundry room, the mouse made. He was going back and forth. and taking things from the house. He ruined my lots of clothes in the closet and all other stuff. But then I said, now we have to do something. Then finally, he took care of it.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I told that story to my two granddaughters. And they were so fascinated by that. They kept on asking, can you tell us that story? Mouse in the house, bad mouse in the house. And then I added, one day, grandpa was out and grandma was sleeping. All of a sudden, mouse came, and mouse said, hey, lady, wake up. Give me some ice cream. I'm screaming for ice cream. Do you know that young girl, what she said? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:34:50 The mouse has no manner. I was surprised. She was only maybe four or three something. Then I said, what do you mean? And the elder one answered, she means that mouse could say nicely, Grandma, can you give me some ice cream, please? That clicked in my head.
Starting point is 00:35:17 I realized that even they are young, they understand the right versus wrong. And that's the time we have to teach them what is right, what is wrong. The head of the family or head of the leader of our society or in our country, they do something wrong. They are young. They cannot protest. But at least they should say, I'm not going to adopt that culture.
Starting point is 00:35:56 I'm not going to take it. I'm going to learn right way versus wrong way. So that was the thing. The original thoughts came from there. And so you've talked about that. When did you start writing and when did you know your probably good at it and wanted to write more books. Was there an aha moment or you're like, I think I'm pretty good at this. Maybe I should do more. Chris, unfortunately, that aha moment did not
Starting point is 00:36:25 come yet. I don't know how good or how bad I am. Our readers have to tell me how they like the book. You're doing good so far.
