I have this issue with Mixergy as well. It sounds kind of stupid now that I'm typing it out, but... an hour is a long time. And the synopses that they write for the interviews are rarely very good.
I actually disagree completely, yes an hour is a long time, but that is exactly why I like watching them.
Most "real" interviews are so short, you never get any details, with mixergy you can actually get the nitty gritty details that help you see the actual thinking behind the actions. And since you can ask your own questions, you can actually get your questions answered.
For me the interviews, fall at 2pm, so I just watch them while I eat lunch. Probably the best hour I spend per day, come to think of it.
Andrew is also doing excellent job asking the right questions. I was going to add "that's why we're paying him", but then realized that we're not paying anything. :-)
But it's certainly the kind of quality journalist work I want to survive the coming news-pocalypse.
I don't watch all the interviews but the ones I have watched (this one included) have been well worth it to me. I find it inspiring hearing other peoples stories. It's cool to watch interviews with folks willing to get out and do something.
The fact that it's in audio is nice too. If something is only in video is demands your full attention, but something that is in audio you can multi-task while listening to. (Maybe it's only me, but I really find it hard to watch video and do something else at the same time unless the video is completely and utterly boring)
