Very happy to hear this!

4. Debate between Christopher Hitchens and Edd Doerr

Comment #58412 by MikeJ on July 24, 2007 at 6:12 pm

I had to laugh every time the crappy serene music came on before each segment, just because it was such a great contrast with Hitchens' decidedly un-dainty tone.

5. Richard Dawkins on Hardtalk

Anyone else notice The Professor's use of "privilege" as a verb near the end there? I thought it was funny since I just re-read "Post-modernism Disrobed," in which he pokes fun at it as an "in word."

6. Interview with Richard Dawkins

It's always a pleasure to hear Professor Dawkins speak. Dawkins seems to have to answer the same basic set of questions in most interviews he gives, but this interviewer brought up a couple (semi) new talking points and RD was able to go into greater depth than usual with his responses.
