With respect, Dr Gabor deserves better than this. The author could not have picked a worse place to make this video. It's stressful to try to focus on the important things

over the unbearably noisy background.

Hi Sparky,

I agree, it's true. It was a terrible lesson didnt know how bad the background noise was until I heard the tape back. If youd like, theres a link to the transcript of the interview in the summary above.

Thanks, Susan

ring ring *Dr Gabor Mate, how can I help you?*

Hi Dr, I was wondering if you'd conduct an interview with me during a rock concert, preferable in the mosh pit, how's that sound?

Ooops, and now I noticed that it has even a second part to it! Cool.

[emiryardimci]

As much as I agree about the overall quality of the audio of this interview being bad, I must say it's a great short interview that I have enjoyed very much. Especially where Maté talks a little bit about his childhood and how he had to cope with the consequences, by reading, studying and looking at the world and himself.

Thank you, Susan.

Thanks for the tip about the transcript, Susan. We've all made similar mistakes so I'm in no position to criticize. Better luck next time.
