Herr Doktor Djerassi

If you know anything about him you won't be surprised to hear that Carl Djerassi has a personal/professional web site devoted to the promotion of his books, plays, art, and generally himself. He provides access to lots of interviews where he shares his opinions on all of these topics--oh, yeah, and also of science and the development of the oral contraceptive pill.

There is one interview in particular which is a nice audio file. It's nice, if you are reading his autobiography, to know what he sounds like. His demeanor in interviews also provides insight into who he is in a way that is not quite captured in the book. So if you're curious, follow this link and find the BBC audio file, and have a listen.
