Kamla Bhatt did an audio interview with me earlier this week — it is available here.
I was looking through their site, and they seem to have done a fair number of very interesting interviews with people focussed on the indian entrepreneurial environment. The audio format also makes it more engaging relative to a text interview. And Kamla had researched well before the interview, which gave it more depth — watch out for her!
I think what an audio interview doesnt do well is allow people to scan randomly — would be great to have some tool to keep tagging key topics (even if it is manual, since the whole file is anyway edited manually) in-stream audio. So if you clicked on “views on internet businesses”, it could take you straight to that point in playback.

#1) nice history about the bharatmatrimony. Was terry semel here in india for this purpose itself ?
#2) Real estate looks especially attractive esp. if it can be integrated with maps, and other info – who wants to waste hours going to a location and then realizing there are no access roads 🙂
Very insightful interview.
As for skipping sections in audio (or even video), it should be fairly easy to do so; especially if the end-user is using the Flash Player to play the streaming or progressively downloading content. MotionBox offers such a functionality for online video streaming.
