Peter Cetinski interviewed Bill Hogue, founder of Big Five Software and author of many of the company's games.

Then, Peter Bartlett interviewed Arthur Gleckler, developer of the last Big Five TRS-80 game, Weerd.  One correction to the recorded interview is that Arthur was actually 15 years old, not 12 as he mentioned in the interview.
