It's easy to forget that there are really smart people talking about the world, and what a pleasure it is to listen to them. My only negative comment - I had to look too hard for Sam's name, and I don't know who he is. Is Sam even a he? To the point that the interview is inherently artificial, I'd like to have some idea of who we're talking to. Chuck's certainly right about the balance between interviewer and subject, and I think that this one is balanced just right....but still... Also, nice intro from Maris. I think that the importance of those to interviews is seriously underrated. See? Context is good. Again, marvelous stuff.
