The video runs to about 35 minutes and has some interesting points and observations to make about reviewing. I found the discussion toward the end where Cheryl and Gary talk about publishers and the pressure placed on reviewers to review to a set timetable revealing. I agree with Gary too when he says it doesn't take long for the novelty of a free book to wear off.
The interview was promoted at Salon Futura Issue 6 worth checking out if you are a SpecFic fan.
