YouTube has Bryan Magee's conversation with Hubert Dreyfus (Hat tip: another heidegger blog). The transcripts from the series have been published under various titles, but it's great to be able to watch it again.
In an earlier television program on philosophy broadcast while I was in high school--transcripts also in print--Bryan Magee interviewed William Barrett on Existentialism. That was when I first came across Heidegger as more than just another name in the list of Sartre's influences. I had expected the episode on Existentialism to be an hour on Camus and Sartre, but Barrett and Magee concentrated on Heidegger, and only mentioned Sartre at the end, as in interesting novelist and playwright, but by then (1978) largely irrelevant to philosophy. ¶ 8:51 AM
