Editorial reviews

iMinds' Generalist series presents listeners a potpourri of knowledge and trivia spanning the fields of art, literature, history, science, sport, and politics. Packaged into easily digestible eight-minute segments, the Generalist series is perfect for inquiring minds on the move. Actors Ellouise Rothwell and Luca James Lee combine here, providing a clear, even-paced overview of such wide-ranging topics as the Hope Diamond curse, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the history of the Davis Cup, the life of John F. Kennedy, and the legend of Robin Hood, among others. Rothwell delivers the bulk of the material, her soft-spoken, fluid diction providing an informative and cogent documentary platform.
