Okay I don't know for sure who is doing the interview now. It might be Sybille Bedford or Alan Watts. Whatever the case just enjoy hearing from Aldous Huxley. Thanks to all for your comments related to this video.

Change the title.

@88BMP to what?

[pogglemindboggle]

Aldous Huxley is being interviewd. Alan Watts however is not interviewing.

Hi there...

Alan Watts is the one asking Aldous Huxley questions/interviewing.

@bernardocantu77 This audio track is always mislabelled. This is not Alan Watts interviewing. Superficially similar - see around 41:50 for example.

The whole point of inviting Watts do the interview would be to enhance it with his unique character and capacity for banter. There'd be no reason to force him to ask questions in such a sterile manner.

Not Sybille Bedford either - Sybille is a woman!

@DeprivedToast well we seem to have some confusion as to who is doing the interview as indicated with the comments from people here. Some say it is him... others say it isnt. I have no way of finding out the truth behind this. If you can send me some evidence or post up some evidence settling this once and for all I would appreciate it. I will post up the corrections under the video so people can get a better understanding of whats happening here.Thanks for your contribution in this discussion.

@bernardocantu77 I assure you the person interviewing Huxley is not Alan Watts.

One of the many tremendous things about this 'internet' kerjigger, is that items like this are made widely available. Things like this, the Mencken interview, Huxley's "The Ultimate Revolution" talk, and a superb series on Richard Feynman.

Nobody has any excuses anymore (not even those who were rendered functionally illiterate by the 'whole language' pedagogic fraud favoured by US educational systems).

Mr Huxley, I'm going to ask you a laundry list of questions to discover what we can do to prevent other people from becoming as enlightened as you. Thank you for your inadvertant participation.

OMG listening to this dude is like pulling my own teeth out !

[MrPilotans]

very poor sound, im surprised anyone understands this.

[LordShivasServant]

This sounds like Watts. He's using his interviewing voice.

[BEAUTIFULSORROWw]

thankyou for this :)

@DeprivedToast It was mostly directed at the explanation at the Sybille Bedford quote. I had taken it as something he had typed in error, thinking one thing, typing another, as Ive been known to do. It seemed also to me that all the fruit had been shaken from this tree, perhaps there is a list of Huxley interviews online that gets you closer. It's obviously not Watts. More likely a generic BBC presenter, judging by the dead rapport. I guess Id only be that concerned were I citing it in a paper.

@baxterbather Interesting - the two of them being recorded at a different times could explain it, I'd be keen to know if you find anything out. It's a shame we're not privy to a lengthy chat between these two minds, it'd be a great pleasure that's for sure.
