We German listeners listen to the podcast in English, we participate on the messageboard in English, so there is no reason whatsoever to interview Herzog in German for us. On the contrary, it was fascinating to hear him do an interview in English for a change. On all of the DVDs of his films I have seen so far, the interviews and commentaries naturally were in German, so it was great to hear him be as articulate and genuine in English as he is in German.
Thanks for a great interview, Sam!
