Two timing my Kindle again!
Having bought and read the Second Series years ago, and finally coming to the conclusion that the set will never appear in ebook form in my lifetime, I just ordered paperback editions of the transcripts for the First, Third, and Fourth Series of Meeting of Minds by Steve Allen.
For those of you who may be too young to remember, Meeting of Minds was a round table talk show hosted by the late, great Steve Allen. Each show would feature four guests from various periods in history with very diverse opinions. A typical example: one of the second season guest panels consisted of Martin Luther, Voltaire, Plato, and Florence Nightingale. Another example: one of the panels of season three featured St. Augustine of Hippo, Empress Theodora, Thomas Jefferson, and Bertrand Russell. Needless to say, the guests rarely agreed with each other. What pretty much everyone did agree with who followed the show, however, was the painstaking research and attention to detail that was evident in each and every episode. This was not Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.
