"They made history" - interview series

Post by Drolgin Steingrinder »

Danish national tv station DR1 is doing a series of interviews with world leaders, the movers and shakers of the past 40-50 years. There are some rather amazing exclusives, and most of the interviews are done in English, so if you're interested in global politics and modern history, take a gander. The journalist is pretty good (his name is Steffen Kretz).

This series is a plot by the insidious Danish government to deliver anti-Canadian messages subliminally to the world to help their war effort.

No, Mexicans talk fast, Texans have a drawl. I guess that slow Spanish might be called Texican...or would that be Spanglish which is a mix of Spanish and English....hmmm

The absence of Traci Lords on that list kinda invalidates the whole thing.

holy thread necro batman.

But I just fell over this english version of the page - the interviews aren't there in full, but there're audio bits and pieces, and I *still* find it quite interesting.
