Rod,
Bear in mind that most "traditional" media publisher around the world
operate under the assumed agreement that any contributor, guest or host,
releases all copyright to the publisher, unless otherwise specified in
advance. Thus I'm unsure you'd be allowed to "give away" copyright of
your
comments to anyone else, since your acting as the copyright owner of what
you contributed to BBC may be in breach of your (assumed) agreement with
them.

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:
http://www.entertainmentmedialawsignal.com/2011/02/articles/copyright/quest…
English and Welsh law isn't identical to Canadian law, by any means,
but it does have a lot in common with it.
