</div>The interview isn't exactly Dolby quality. When I listened to it, I<br>
had enough trouble understanding Nick myself at some points due to<br>

</div>About half an hour if I recall correctly, but you could certainly cut<br>
it down to a much shorter executive summary rather than attempting a<br>
word for word transcription.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'll take a listen, and maybe consider doing a transcription. I've done them before on extremely bad recordings. It's time consuming, but if it's worth the trouble... </div>
