I find this to be a charming half-hour, one in which Socrates of Athens, who seems quite comfortable with his New York City accent, answers all of life's most perplexing questions with the greatest of ease. Slightly reminiscent of Steve Allen's great public television series "Meeting of the Minds". Turns out learning can be not only painless but fun and interesting.
Interesting concept. A radio interview with a historical figure. An interesting contrast to a documentary.
I did learn more about Socrates than I knew before, but I knew very little before. Where would this fit? Perhaps during a contrast of philosophy or psychology or religion.
