How Daniel Everett's time with the Piraha people who live in the Amazon changed his ideas on religion, life and linguistics was fascinating to listen to. I wish there were more interviews like this.
I heard this lovely piece a couple of years ago and liked it so much I recorded it on my tape recorder. I even played it for a friend. It really warms my heart.
I would love to hear more details about the Mongol's in general, and about their influence on all of the cultures you spoke of. Thank you for opening up a subject that I certainly knew virtually nothing about!
Very nice interview given by Tim Gunn but spoiled by cutesy music. Also, he was talking about some poignant memories and was interrupted by interviewer who turned it into a joke. I wish interviewers could sit back more and give people like Gunn the room to speak.

More Gunn Less Cutesy Music
Very nice interview given by Tim Gunn but spoiled by cutesy music. Also, he was talking about some poignant memories and was interrupted by interviewer who turned it into a joke. I wish interviewers could sit back more and give people like Gunn the room to speak.
