  Raldi, I made a change in response to your comment: "I think it would be a lot more ethical if you presented it openly as such, right from the start. For example, the big button at the bottom of the page could say, "Subscribe to our interview-of-the-week series!""

  The button is changed. It didn't occur to me that people would think that this wasn't coming via email over time. I guess I was too close to this project.

  The interviews are trapped behind a spamwall. You can't reach them until you divulge your email address. Once you're on the list, only then do they admit that they actually only have one interview available so far, and send you a link to download it.

  Edit: Originally, I included the direct-download link here. But Andrew's made some changes to the site's UI in the past hour which directly addressed my biggest objections, so I'm removing it.

  Quite possibly the worst article submission ever that is voted up only on its merit of a good clickbait title.
