lately, I've been enjoying some of the podcast interviews with guys like Frank Mentzer and Tim Kask. I realized I've never seen links to any lengthy discussions with Gygax. Do they exist? How about any of the other folks from that era?

Sure. Go to YouTube and search on Gary Gygax Interview. There's a documentary called The Dungeons & Dragons Experience (broken up into parts), which includes and interview with Gary.
Beyond that, however, I can't help you.

There's also a great one he did back in the 80's on...60 Minutes, I think it was. It was about whether D&D is satanic. The interviewer asks Gary if when he plays D&D he really believes he's a powerful wizard who can cast spells.
Gary's response: "When you play Monopoly do you really believe you're a slum lord?"
Classic.

thanks for the tip. I was hoping someone might have longer audio interviews archived somewhere, but if so they seem to be sitting on them. Seems a shame.
As an aside: the DM from D&D Experience had some incredible looking maps (the Blue Headband guy). Is that anyone involved in the online community, and has he shared any? I love checking out those kinds of things. There seems to be precious little information on that film, though, and the director's website is defunct.

I don't remember if Stefan Pokorny is wearing a headband, but I know he's in that movie (he also talks about Dwarven Forge - "felt is quality!") and I've seen some incredible maps of his. They're not online anywhere, although I had a scheme to publish them once, and if you're ever in NYC we can look him up and ask him to dig them out for us.

sorry, poor command of English (my native tongue, sadly)....he's wearing a bandanna, not a headband.
Yes, that's him. I wasn't familiar with him, since I'm mini-averse, but he seems to have poured the same amount of creativity into his terrain models. Really nice stuff.
