Wow. Fantastic!
I only disliked one thing- the guy reading the interview questions. Every question sounds like it's asked by Tucker Carlson interviewing... well, anyone. Angry and combative. Was this actually the tone of the interviewer? It's intense and off putting.
That said-wow! These interviews are excellent! Fran Sinatra being asked how or if we should have nuclear disarmament? Now I know why in the 80s there was such a pushback on artists having opinions on politics- because interviewers used to ask! Can you imagine ET asking Arianna Grande how she feels about the UN and atheism? No, because like Frank said, he could lose his career over his answers! (no disrespect to Arianna. I would live to hear her views on China and Christianity.) Regardless, Frank was 100% right on almost all his answers. I was not a fan before this interview.
The heartbreak of Tennessee Williams and the actor captures his EXACT accent! All the interviews were stellar! All the actors were fantastic! This is a GENIUS series that I want to see on hbo!
*I'm gay and listening to the progressive but still backwards views of gays (not to mention every other minorities) was hard but important.
** Frank's interview was fascinating!

Truly Amazing
This series blew me away. The performances were all incredible. The interviews were fascinating. Probably the best thing I've heard on Audible.

Quality Time
I am really loving these Playboy interviews. I remember reading them when they first appeared and they are a lot better now than when I first read them.
I am returning to this review to see when there might be more of these interviews. They are fantastic. Apparently, not many people have listened to them. It will take some time for the word to spread. I've posted on my Facebook about them.

Excellent
The only problem is that there aren't more of these interviews to listen to. I mean, over the years, there must be thousands of interviews in the pages of Playboy...why do we only get a paltry handful?

Interesting but dated, production flawed
The subjects of the interviews are all very interesting and thus the interviews are worth listening to. But since most of them are from pieces written in the 70s, the questions can seem really dated and the interviewers biased or even prejudiced. Why should Frank Sinatra be praised for his humanity and big heart and be asked almost exclusively about his political views and world peace; while nearly every question Helen Gurley Brown gets is critical and the interviewer practically indignant that she writes about the possibility that single women might enjoy sexual freedom? Often the production is clunky and jarring with inappropriate background sounds (it sounded like almost 10 mins of the Betty Friedan interview was backed by intrusive striptease music). The voice of the interviewer is amateurish but the actors voicing the subjects do a good job. A flawed production but historically worthwhile. My personal favorite was the Muhammad Ali interview, his personality really comes through.

Fascinating!
Such an interesting re-visiting of the words and thoughts of several important/impactful individuals. And well performed too! Definitely worth a listen.

Freedom of speech & press relevant now, thx!
Regardless of preference of presentation; these interviews remind me/us stark reduction in reporting with echoes of objective open exchange. I learned a lot & thank those involved in crafting these in audio format.

Beyond Excellent!
The materials and performances kept me enthralled. I was worried that it would be dry, but it is anything but!
This entire series exceeded my expectations. If you are on the fence, take a chance and thank me later.
