Maureen Taylor and Mary Ito remember the tiny set of TVO's phone-in talk show "More to Life" - but the conversation was much bigger. They join host Steve Paikin to discuss some memorable episodes, tackling tough conversations, and the time Steve guest-hosted the program while drunk.

On September 27th, 1970, TVO signed onto the airwaves for the first time. It was an experiment in public broadcasting using television for education at a time when TV was considered the root of all evil. It went on to produce programming that shaped entire generations and change what it means to educate.
