From Craig: I don't remember who is conducting the interview but I know that I was there. Memory is failing me :-)

On the tape the date is June 3rd 1990 but on the tape cover the date is June 4th 1990 so I just put it down as June 3rd. This show has already been on the site for some time in Windows Media format but it still makes a great podcast at the higher quality
