It’s a good point. I have struggled to find time to get through such robust videos but I do get a lot of time where I can listen only such as driving. I could in theory background play the YouTube videos I suppose.

Hi Daniel, really enjoying your Steve Purcell interview! I listen to it in small chunks because my life doesn't really give me four hours to sit through in one take, but it is excellently conducted and really detailed. My compliments! Question: is there a way to listen to only the audio portions of your interviews, like a podcast? I like to listen to podcasts when I'm in the car and that way, I'd be able to enjoy a lot more of your interviews. I like that you show the artwork that you're talking about in the video's, but in my case, 9 out of 10 times I can already see the artwork in my mind, so that wouldn't be a difficulty.

All but one found - thank you!

Monkey Island Heardle #431 🔊🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️⬜️ #MonkeyIslandHeardle I don't know how I feel about getting this one immediately... The name initially didn't show up in the option list, but I was so sure that I just refreshed and there it was. And it's very easy to get me to doubt myself, so that should tell you how sure I was

My first long interview was with Bill Tiller. I told him in advance that I have a lot of questions and he said that it's not a problem. I ended up skipping tons of questions because his lengthy answers answered a lot of them (without me asking). So that ended up being 4 hours. From that point on, I started informing people that the length of the conversation is up to them. They can give me shorter answers or very lengthy ones, either way I will not interrupt them and I will not edit their answers in any way in the final edit. From that point on, my interviews started being 3-4 hours long each. Usually, when people are interviewed, they want to answer the questions properly without taking over the conversation with 20-30 minute long answers. I make sure that they are aware that I'm perfectly comfortable with longer answers. Most guests are surprised by how long my previous conversations were, only to end up talking just as much or even longer.

3 hours and 45 minutes is not even my longest interview. Aric Wilmunder and Larry Ahern are 4.5 hours each! (Aric Wilmunder was so great and so into the conversation that we kept on talking for 1.5 hours off the record after we finished recording, which means that we both sat for a total of 6 hours and talked!) All of my interviews are recorded in one session. It's problematic to recorded a video interview in several sessions as you can clearly see on both people that it's not the same day (clothes / lighting / etc.). I tell my guests that they can ask for a break whenever they need one and I just edit that out. I usually finish recording these sessions at 3-4am in my timezone so I would have preferred to do it over several sessions, but again, it has to be in one session for authenticity.

Exactly 👍
