Person Place Thing with Randy Cohen

Sir Roger Bannister

Released: Aug 29, 2020

A neurologist, he kept a phrenology head in his office as a reminder of human folly. “The human mind is filled with instances of ridiculous ideas which have taken hold.” And by the way, in the spring of 1954, he became the first man to run a four-minute-mile. A conversation from our vault, refurbished to meet todays demanding standards. In audio quality if not in political leadership.
