Interviews
Where he actually speaks. Studios, lecture halls, panels, bookshop appearances and award stages. This is the largest surviving body of him in his own voice, from a 1995 television interview through WNYC, Talks at Google and the 92nd Street Y to the 2013 Peabody acceptance. Since none of the television is free, this is where the man himself is audible.
