My Favorites:

Awesome interview with Ken Watanabe on NPR (National Public Radio)!. This leads to a webpage where you can click the audio link...you must have pop-up stoppers turned off. Right-clicking the audio link will not work. In the pop-up, I would recommend clicking the Windows MediaPlayer option, as the other option will be more subject to "bumps" and even problems. Sound quality is excellent, though. Be patient while it loads (it takes several minutes). My only complaint? They shouldn't have used an interpreter. Ken's English is quite good enough (I know from watching other interviews), even if he speaks slower. I think the interpreter's translation actually made it more akward. Ken always gets things across clearly. [English]
