Quoted from a recent addition to Wikipedia Announcements:

National Public Radio ("future tense") this morning featured an interview
with Ward Cunningham, the inventor of the Wiki concept. Wikipedia was
mentioned repeatedly, along with its URL. A [real audio version of the
interview] is available.

Quotes from Ward:

"The Wiki concept is much closer to the way the web was initially intended
than static web pages."
"I'd much rather have a community than a shopping mall."

Here's the URL for program:
