Well, that was surprisingly fluffy, and I actually managed to correct the common factual errors - (a) we're not blocking all anonymous contribution, only creating new articles and (b) it wasn't because of Siegenthaler. Also said we were working on how to polish up this raw material and pointed out there's no substitute for thought. So far, so good. Anyone who gets a transcript, send it in and I'll put it up on my LiveJournal (http://reddragdiva.livejournal.com/).
No transcript as yet, but if anyone wants to listen, it's on this. PM is a daily radio programme that runs from about 1700 UTC for about an hour every day, so the interview will not be available on this URL for long. If you have a way of snaffling the sound for posteriority (an olde steam-powered tape recorder should do) do it quickly.
The piece is at 36'40" and starts with a woman's voice reading the introduction to the Wikipedia article on the PM program. Then there's a telephone interview with David Gerard, with his strong Australian accent very evident. It finishes at around 41'.
