Audio interviews of Guido or other Python advocates?

Ever since I heard Paul Graham's OSCON speech as audio, I've been somewhat
interested in hearing what all these voices of computer culture sound like,
and what they talk about. I enjoyed a few of Larry Wall's speeches as well
as Tim O'Reilly's, here: http://technetcast.ddj.com/

I looked around for recordings of Guido, but couldn't find any. Does anyone
know of any streamable audio (or video) interviews or speeches featuring
Guido, the bots, or any other interesting people in the Python community?
I've seen a video of a Bruce Eckels presentation; that's about the closest
I've found so far.

The canonical recording of Guido's voice can be found on his
own web page at http://www.python.org/~guido/ . ;-)

Nice to see that you didn't lose your sense of humour. BTW, do bots
have a sense of humour? :-)

I found a few--slightly longer--video interviews here today:

But thanks, the woodpecker was inspiring.

it depends; it's not in the standard library:
import humour Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named humour import humor Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named humor humor Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: name 'humor' is not defined humour

Considering where the name "Python" came from, I consider this a major
oversight. If Python can't lead the way in this domain, what hope does a
language like Java or APL have?
