CNN to feature Mind Mapping

Hobie from Mindjet sent this note about mind-mapping pioneer Tony Buzan featuring on CNN’s Quest program. For Kiwis readers these shows screen on Sky NZ's CNN Channel:

Time: (NZ Local Time) Sat 23 Sep 2006: 18:00 &  Sun 24 Sep 2006: 02:00, 07:00, 18:00 & Mon 25 Sep 2006 07:00
Title: Quest
Duration: 60 Minutes

I first saw Richard Quest on BBC World which TV One, a free to air channel, shows overnight. His rather, um, exuberant style stood out compared to the other stuffy BBC presenters. He disappeared & as I didn’t have satellite TV, a waste of time & money, I didn’t know where he’d gone. When Formula One shifted to satellite I had to get it, religious reasons you understand, & was pleasantly surprised to find Quest on CNN!

Television personality Richard Quest airs his monthly “Quest” program on CNN. On September 23/24 (Saturday 06:00, 14:00, 19:00 and Sunday 06:00, 19:00 ALL TIMES GMT) he will air one called “The Quest for Genius.”

“This month on Quest, we take a journey into the human mind, the complex gray matter that distinguishes us from the rest of life on Earth. Along the way, we will explore the concept of genius, the mysterious workings of the brain and whether Richard Quest is as smart as he thinks…

In the program, Quest will interview chess player Garry Kasparov, Dr. James Watson of DNA fame, Kim Peek (AKA the Rain Man)—and Tony Buzan. Of Buzan, CNN writes: “Having founded the World Memory Championships more than a decade ago, Buzan is convinced the computer inside us knows no boundaries if we teach it how to work properly. Quest puts Buzan's pioneering mind-mapping techniques to the test in the vain hope he can salvage what little memory he has left.”

Tune in if you get a chance!
