Some additional notes to the Day One criticisms:

Nick Regush, one of their producer/interviewers spent several hours here 
in Scottsdale and received the usual huge amount of information.  Personally, 
I WAS irritated to have spent that much time and have nothing but a 
background shot on the show.

However, considering the tone of the show, perhaps it was just as well.  My 
assumption is that I must have done a thoroughly logical, reasonable 
interview, since apparently I didn't say anything outrageous or goofy enough 
to be pulled out of context and used to slam cryonics, life extension in 
general, or Saul and Bill in particular.

In all of the interviews we have done in the past year (well over 100), only 
4 had negative slants: two radio stations in Texas who thought we were 
playing God, the L.A. Times which was partly good and partly insulting, and 
Day One.  Let's keep this all in perspective, folks: while the networks still 
seem to require sneering at out-of-the ordinary ideas; just about everyone 
else is willing to listen and learn.  We are making tremendous progress in 
public image over all.  The networks will be the last to catch on, as usual.
