Editorial reviews

Specialist: Sport & Action, Volume 1, presented by iMinds, culls engaging topics from the athletic field of endeavor. Thus curious listeners are treated to short courses on climbing Everest, parkour, the New York Yankees, the Triple Crown of racing, and others that fall under this umbrella of physical adventure. All narrated by the same amiable and adept male performer, these exciting iMinds offerings take listeners up mountains and across finish lines, without ever sacrificing history and context. Each eight-minute track is intensified by subdued background music that never competes with the performer, but seems ideally modulated to move and swell with his sentences.
