In case you missed it there's 9 minutes on MSL (actual hardware visible) + 5 minutes with Dr Elachi on "This week in Space" there: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/
14 minutes out of 23 regarding Unmanned, not bad.

Worth noting in the case of spirit - Scientists have explicitly said that they didn't see Spirit's current sand trap coming.
