Thanks for sharing, this is great. The level of discourse of the interview feels so much higher than a lot of the interviews I see today. I was just a kid back in the early 1980s, so I don't have a good frame of reference, but does anyone have any data to support that feeling?

Another famous interview I remember from the 80s was Phil Donahue interviewing Ayn Rand. Regardless of what you think of either of them, the conversation is more like this video and way above the sadness that is a contemporary interview.

Nah. You're seeing the raw footage. The final cut, after edits and splices, will be shorter and less detailed. And there's plenty of great interviews today, and terrible interviews back then. Just pick your forum.
