Meeting of Minds, Volume X

By: Steve Allen

Narrated by: Sandy Kenyon, Jayne Meadows, Al Mancini

By "assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations—not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders—both famous and infamous—these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.

An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are Scottish economist Adam Smith, birth control activist Margaret Sanger, and Indian leader Mohandas Gandhi.

Critic reviews

"Meeting of Minds held our family fascinated. We felt it a conception of originality and courage...a masterpiece of presentation." (Will Durant)

Steve is brilliant and Jayne is marvilous

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I watched and recorded these to audio tape when they were on PBS. Unfortunately audio tape twists and turns until you can,t run it anymore. All of these performances are excellent

Any additional comments?

When I have more money to spare, I,'ll pick up the rest of them. Would be thrilled if Audible picked up the rest of the series. I know there were at least 4 seasons. Hi-ho Steverino, we miss you.
