Well, it's free so why not

I have always been interested in behind the scenes-stuff, so why not. A bit short for my taste, but it's free after all.

Especially interesting now that Brandon Sanderson finally breathed som life in this series, which have been threading water all too long.

good interview

I do wish it were a bit longer. 12 minutes is not bad, but I wish there were more. You can tell it was edited to keep it short.

Good

These people really enjoy their work, some they make me want to read a little bit more about the story.

Please rename this!

Please rename this more accurately. The Gathering Storm is a Wheel of Time novel, not an interview.

Not long enough and poorly finished.

It is clearly part of an interview that was cut short. What was your point?

what a delight to get to know the narrators

I had no idea the narrators of these stories were married, and the knowledge brings a whole new dimension to the interplay between the female and male voices in the books. I also loved getting to know them a little bit better, and hearing about some of the challenges of reading these stories.

Truncated

I was very intrigued when I saw this become available - after having listened to Kramer/Reading's excellent narration of the entire series, I had been growing more curious about the thoughts of the narrators.

The interview was interesting enough - though a bit repetitive. Most frustrating is that it abruptly comes to an end, and seems quite incomplete. It's almost like it was cut short, perhaps with further questions and answers left out.

Interesting!

It was so fun to hear their normal voices and what they thought of the series. Just a shame that it cut off after 12 minutes.

Cuts off!

The audio cuts off at 12 minutes! I listened to the original posting of this on Tor.com, but it's no longer there. There is a lot of great material in the rest of the interview, and it's really interesting to listen to. Dear Audible: please fix this so the whole interview is there.
