Alan Moore was interviewed by Stewart Lee on BBC-4’s Chain Reaction; via Didi, I got to the Comics Reporter, which posts a link to the interview that works (the one on the main page gave me an error), as well as to a transcript at CBR.
Using esoteric techniques described in Ben Hammersley’s Radiopod script, I’ve used mplayer to download the interview and convert it to a WAV file, and then used lame to convert it to an MP3 (30 Mb, so a bit big, but I uploaded it anyway). Probably so I can listen to it on my MP3 player, I guess, but mostly just to see that it can be done.
Update: bonus for Genkin, the three out-takes from the BBC site, in MP3 format: Stewart Lee on playing a Cyberman, Moore on Superman and Mort Weisinger’s neuroses, Why Moore doesn’t like The Killing Joke.
Update II: The following week’s Chain Reaction show, where Alan Moore interviews Brian Eno, is also avaiable (MP3).

This is fantastic – I saw Stuart Lee doing stand up last night, and really enjoyed it – he talked about his love for the hulk a bit. So I had a little look on Google, and found I’d just missed this fantastic idea for an interview. Thank you for keeping it alive.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
and again Thank you!
Missed out on this when it was broadcast so this is amazing
Cheers!

Found this, and very enjoyable. Many thanks.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
You don’t happen to have the next episode, do you? The one where more is interviewing Brian Eno?
Anil, actually, I do.
Hey, thanks so much for keeping the mp3s of the interviews hosted… I always dl and lose them from random places after a hard drive crash :(
love hearing alan talk about anything
Thank you so much for providing the Moore/Eno interview and for keeping it up, I first listened to it when it aired and it was one of the most enjoyable interviews I’ve heard. After telling someone about it recently I longed to hear it again and your site is the only place I could find it — it is much appreciated!
Warm Regards,
Naomi
Hi from Vermont, US
Thanks so much, its always nice when I’m able to get content, using Ubuntu as I do, from the UK where I do not have to rip from the command line or search and search

hi the eno interview is great but i cant find the second part – you say you have it in the comments but the link is just part one. nice work though.
Probably a bit late now, but Windows says that the chain_moore_eno.mp3 should be 30 minutes long, but it’s only 17:14 minutes in Winamp, and cuts off abruptly. Might there be something wrong with the uploaded file?
