Sorry it's taken so long to edit it up.

This was my first hack at recording ' in the field' - so there's a bit of wind every now and again, and a coot quacks at one point...and you can hear the MD recorder.

But - you can hear it all

It's 22 Mbytes, it's 5 seconds short of 50 minutes long..and it's here

Thhat MP3 is sponsored by the kitchen staff of Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge - who saved Nico and I some dinner despite arriving 45 minutes late for it, it's all Steve's fault really

To all of you who submitted questions that didnt get asked....I'm sorry - but I had to be selective on the day as we were running out of time - but I hope the quality of Steve's replies makes up for it. I didnt mention each members question specifically - but you should recognise your questions in there

The winner of the competition has been notified, just waiting to hear back before announcing it publicly.

Very nice, Doug! Great, great interview -- you structured the questions well, leading Steve through a narrative rather than just getting answers to individual questions.

I feel a great sense of affirmation at Steve's response to my question... And I must say, I *knew* some of those rocks Spirit was looking at up near Methuselah looked like welded ashflow tuffs! It's great to hear Steve say so, too.

So -- a new edition of the book after the MERs finally die, eh? So, we'll look forward to reading that sometime in 2012... *grin*...
