Rod (or anyone else):
Is it possible to contact the BBC and see if they would be interested in releasing that portion under CC-By-SA?

Martin,
The audio is only available on iplayer for 7 days & some BBC programmes are only available in the UK, although being World Service that restriction may not apply.
According to http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p007dhp8 the programme on the 30th is available for another 2 days.
Presumably I could give away the copyright of my comments – but the questions asked etc probably belong to the interviewer/BBC.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I will hold fire on posting full
transcripts since the situation is uncertain, though the summary of "Anglo-Canadian" law shared by Tom suggests that the person who fixes the interview in a given medium owns the copyright in that medium, so that would imply I own the copyright in the transcript.
Suffice to say that Rod Ward gave a really excellent interview to BBC World Service about academic contributions to Wikpedia, and there will be a link to the audio, and perhaps some paraphrasing, in the newsletter.

Short extracts from the transcript might qualify as fair dealing (aka fair use). Publishing the whole thing would almost certainly be a copyright violation.
I tend to assume the speaker owns their words.
But this whole thread is surmise. Is there *case law*?
I've found this discussion of Canadian law on the subject, written by a lawyer specialising in the subject:

English and Welsh law isn't identical to Canadian law, by any means, but it does have a lot in common with it.
