Thanks for your comments - glad you enjoyed Chronicles 1. All the speakers appearing in the DVD are interviewed at the Toward a Science of Consciousness conference, which is held annually in April or May. (In fact, we will be shooting at the 2011 TSC in Stockholm this week - May 2-8). We hope to have Chronicles 3 ready later in the year.

Great YouTube nickname, BTW!
