If you scroll down, there's a transcript made by MTurkers. (It's Friday, so you get snark-free. Well, aside from this parenthetical.)

Yah, I'm aware of that and thought about raising the point.

The joy of an article is that someone actually spends time "editing" the interesting information into something readable. The transcript is a bit of a poor substitute.

I'm glad the full transcript is available. You get a lot of insight into the personality of the founder that you wouldn't otherwise.

I have this issue with Mixergy as well. It sounds kind of stupid now that I'm typing it out, but... an hour is a long time. And the synopses that they write for the interviews are rarely very good.

I actually disagree completely, yes an hour is a long time, but that is exactly why I like watching them.

Most "real" interviews are so short, you never get any details, with mixergy you can actually get the nitty gritty details that help you see the actual thinking behind the actions. And since you can ask your own questions, you can actually get your questions answered.

For me the interviews, fall at 2pm, so I just watch them while I eat lunch. Probably the best hour I spend per day, come to think of it.

If watching an interview is the best hour you spend per day, consider doing different things during the rest of the hours.

Andrew is also doing excellent job asking the right questions. I was going to add "that's why we're paying him", but then realized that we're not paying anything. :-)

But it's certainly the kind of quality journalist work I want to survive the coming news-pocalypse.

I don't watch all the interviews but the ones I have watched (this one included) have been well worth it to me. I find it inspiring hearing other peoples stories. It's cool to watch interviews with folks willing to get out and do something.

The fact that it's in audio is nice too. If something is only in video is demands your full attention, but something that is in audio you can multi-task while listening to. (Maybe it's only me, but I really find it hard to watch video and do something else at the same time unless the video is completely and utterly boring)

I'd have to agree with this. An edited video or transcript would be much more appealing. An hour is much too long.

Most content on the web is text. I feel a sort of deeper connection with the people involved when I can see them talking, so I am happy there is content for me as well.

The two aren't exclusive...

Videos are value-add when the presentation is well done (in terms of 'stagecraft and being able to see the slides). Merely listening endless ramble designed to keep you on the hook looses against speed-reading the transcript.
