LISTEN. NOW.

Requires RealPlayer ... you can download it for free and can prevent it from taking over your computer by unchecking everything but the local file formats (.ram, .rm, etc) in that list of 'file formats to be opened by RealPlayer' when you're setting it up.

Okay, I really want to hear this, and I have no idea how to open the file. Is there a link to the site, or a specific program you need in order to play this file?

You need RealPlayer ... sorry, should have said.

Terry: The thing about meeting Death, is it's kind of mixed feelings, really. Yes you're dead, but there's clearly some kind of "you" who's there actually seeing Death, which suggests an afterlife of some sort.

Interviewer: D'you believe that?

Terry: ...Ask me again in 150 years.

Terry Pratchett is awesome.

Haha ! So cool ! Death is my favorite character.
And thanks to have written a bit of the interview, I can't listen to it. And anyway, I wouldn't understand if I could.

That is an absolutely fantastic interview. I loved when they asked him whether he did research or not and he said "Sometimes, like if I have to find out about chocolate or how clocks work," or something to that affect. I'm all, "Haha, he's totally writing Thief of Time." XD
Thanks so much for the link!
