2 Recent Tavis Smiley Interviews That Were, As He Puts It, Instructive

(Click Watch Full Video -- they're like 20 minutes)

1. Larry King
2. Francis Ford Coppola pt1 pt2

Also his Michael Jackson coverage was my favorite:
Michael Eric Dyson and Cornel West
I'm always amazed by West. Check out this one too.

Related:
James Ingram (just check out the shorter clip--it's also replicated in the Dyson/West video)
Berry Gordy pt1 pt2 (Motown records founder--not much MJ discussion though)


And the Prince interview was interesting and unique--you need to engender a lot of trust to get a guy like that on video. I'm not saying that there aren't controversial parts, like when he calls him Travis:
Prince pt1 pt2

3 Mark Bittman Summer Lists

I've been following these as they come out but haven't tried most of the recipes and haven't really checked for overlap. He does put out a lot of cookbooks and other content so maybe he tries to come up with entirely new ones each year. Just the change in title from year to year is interesting. What would happen to his clicks if he got rid of the "101?"

Baconfest Chicago

Judging from the video alone, could be interesting. Cool they got Paul Kahan to sponsor/host. The FAQ has some good moments.

4 Seasons of NewsRadio on Hulu

A quality show that I didn't appreciate until recently. Wonder if there's any other good Phil Hartman I haven't seen. The boss (Stephen Root) reminds me of "O Brother."

2. Season Two
3. Season Three
4. Season Four

Kevin Kelly's Lifestream (seriously, he calls it that?)

A MR post reminded me it's been a while since I've checked out Kevin Kelly's site. Been following him I guess since I first had a WIRED subscription. He puts out a lot of content and has great taste. Two recent selections in the "amazing internet videos" category:

1. Crowdsourced Music Video
2. 650 Million Years in 1.2 Minutes
