ABC RN’s Late Night Live talks to Arthur C. Clarke
The ABC Radio National show Late Night Live recorded a show with the late Sir Arthur C. Clarke Originally on 3/5/2001. Here’s the official description: “In this program-length conversation, the philosopher, inventor and futurist talks about his life and his work.” – Pfffttt!

Anyway, here’s the show… |MP3|

Arthur C. Clarke’s last interview?
IEEE Spectrum has reportedly podcast the last interview with Sir Arthur C. Clarke. Saswato Das interviewed Clarke from his hospital bed in Sri Lanka. Saswato Das asked Clarke about geo-stationary satellites, terraforming, space elevators, and SETI. Sadly, this appears to be one of the “so you’re a futurist” interviews, rather than a “so you’re the guy who wrote Childhood’s End” kind of interview.
