emiged's review against another edition
3.0
Collection of transcripts of interviews done by Mr. Moyers on his PBS TV show. A wide variety of guests were included from Jon Stewart to the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Jane Goodall to John Lithgow. Several "big" names like John Grisham and Michael Pollan and many people to whom this was my first introduction. Mr. Moyers asks insightful questions and the guests are almost without fail engaging and intriguing.
But there were a lot of them. It's definitely a book you could pick up and put down and read in short chunks. Several of the individual interviews seemed too short and were just getting going when they ended.
I was intrigued enough by several of the interviews that I've added more books to my reading list based on the conversations in this book.

Moyers seems to ask thoughtful questions to these titans of the American left and middle. He leans to the populist, the faith based questioner and poet. I enjoyed hearing these lives who made me think about America and what it is and should be. I've ignored a lot just to make a living. Moyers paints an interesting picture of the late 20th and early 21st century.
