Of special interest for GNOME users are recent shows featuring interviews with people such as Jeff Waugh, Miguel de Icaza and Mark Shuttleworth. The interviews and discussions are available in Ogg Vorbis format so you should be able to listen to them with most GNOME media players.

Here's episode 71 of a The Linux Link Tech Show with a long (90 minute?) interview with Nat Friedman. Nat speaks about Evolution, Hula, XGL and many other subjects (I'm on 30 minute so i don't know anything about the other 60 minutes yet).

He also speaks a bit about SUSE. In the end its ~ 50 minutes and IMO pretty interesting.

Strong accent

Sometimes makes it difficult to follow the discussions... o.O
at least for us, non-native english speakers.

It's a shame, I know... but I'd like to have a transcript of the interviews, that would be very helpful :)

Something that I've always wondered about when I've talked to non-native english speakers (including the wonderful but extremely scandinavian sounding submitter of this story) is whether it is more or less frustrating to try to communicate with other strong-accented non-native speakers. However I've never had the guts to ask since it can be interpreted as a slight to their language skills.
There really was only one person with a non-anglophone accent which is of cause de Icaza who I would consider a really good english speaker. Hell, most of them are from the country that invented the language. But I'm a native speaker myself so I really can't judge from your perspective.

It depends.
For me other non-native speakers are usually easier to understand, maybe because they tend to talk slower. Well, except for many spanish people, who often have a very strong accent.
Another reason could be that non-natives are using a restricted vocabulary.

Yes, Winamp plays OGG since version 2.9x.
By the way, on the episode guide, you may download the MP3 file, too.
