The microphone looks very directional, so they likely had to stand close to pick up both their voices. Some reporters hate having to switch the microphone back and forth.
Never heard Mr. Durant's voice before, though I've long been familiar with his magnificent histories. Obviously smart, he seemed personable, looking dapper & courtly as well. The interviewer seemed a little uninformed, asking rather childish questions. He wasn't terrible by any means just a little odd in his questioning & demeanor. For my money, the interview could've been much longer; on the other hand, since the interviewer kind of ruined it for me anyway, perhaps it was well it ended when it did. A pity.
No it was perfect the way it was. If he didn't ask the questions in a original and very brittish manner he never would have got such a thought provoking answer. These sorts of things can't be studied for nor can they be asked by someone who doesn't k ow what he's talking about
Great footage! Not so much the interviewer
One of the greatest intellectuals ever. It would be a blessing to go back in time and discuss history with this mastermind.
Priceless, it really is about being able to see it from a larger perspective, at least at the beginning of our inquiries.
I love how they're standing so uncomfortably close to each other. :D
I don't think Durant is so comfortable 😃

Thats the brittish in them I suppose
Thank you so Much! God bless you
Man, that interviewer REALLY likes Will. Haha
Reporter: "Blah blah, lowest-common-demoninator, blah blah. Blah blah?"
Durant: "No ..." for 4 minutes. 🤣

You can hear him on Information Please Episode 323 1944-11-06. He was on the show with Christopher Morley

Thank you.
A great man
Thank ❤❤
This guy has no idea who he is interviewing! Haha
Can some enterprising individual please create an AI voice from this ? I’d like to hear Will Durant narrate his books.
Finally a good use for AI!
Jolly good
Weird but delicious
How did you find this video?
The master and the joker
Smooth!
