Editor reviews

A polymath is a person who is an expert on a variety of subjects, and listeners can aspire to be just that with this wide-ranging anthology of learning from iMinds. From crop circles to Confucius, fireworks to the Federal Reserve, these 36 educational vignettes weigh in at roughly eight minutes apiece, and pack in a trove of knowledge for inquiring minds on a busy schedule. Each of these densely packed founts of information is provided a fluid, even-paced, linear delivery, and is performed by a member of iMinds' ensemble cast of actors and documentarians, which includes, among others, up-and-coming actor Luca James Lee and British voice artist Ellouise Rothwell.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

articles going into the history of various things from different parts of life.

I don't believe the music adds anything to this at all. It won't provide a full education but it can focus on helping you know a few more things about a variety of topics. Quite infotaining and I will probably by the next volume despite the music and the colonial ixents.
