I wish there were more old surviving Ayn Rand recordings like this. I listened with pleasure. Thank you very much!

There was something so satisfying about how the questions are completely answered so briefly.

It’s absolutely wonderful to hear another interview with Miss Rand. Always uplifting to hear her amazing intellect. Thank you very much!

I loved her laugh at the last question. It's the first time that I hear Ayn Rand laugh.

Why do you care about the laugh of a Zionist sociopath ?

What a delight to hear! From the comic interactions, especially when Rand could not hear the questions, to her not allowing the interview to be a platform for another person, to her patient way of listening to questions and answering them properly and thoroughly without condescension. Her mind was beyond extraordinary, not in a superhuman way, but rather in a truly proper Human way! And her personality in general came through here in ways I have not heard before. Strong and just when hearing a wrong, but loving and nurturing as a mother eager to motivate her young ones to leave the nest and spread their wings and fly!

‘Haha, no, dear. Never’.

Absolutely brilliant show. thank you for allowing us to experience this. Her intellect is amazing.

I always wondered why she left Eddie Willers stranded in the Desert. I'm glad to finally know that my answer was correct. It always bothered me because I liked his character. The final scene with the wet nurse always makes me choke up. It's a coincidence that I always get a little dust in my eye when reading or listening to it. It's the most touching scene in any book I've ever read.

That's called clickbait, while an interesting interview, it didn't seem accidental.

It’s hilllarious how direct they are with each other.

So striking how good the English vocabulary is here for all the speakers compared to today.

People were so different back then.

That was freaking incredible! I was dying to know her thoughts about Capital Punishment. Thank you, ARI for posting this!

she is brilliant. thank you for this.

What a gem! Thanks ARI.

She had such a brilliant mind!

I just love Ayn’s accent. That is all❤

Thank you for posting that!

I have a sense that this Michael guy doesn't like Rand that much. 🤔

I remember hearing this one back in the day, when I googled to check whether Ayn Rand ever said anything about MJ.

Thanks for this recording of Ayn Rand interview! I enjoyed reading her books in 1974, when I was 18 yrs old! Strong woman with her own philosophy!

Absolute fantastic conversations. Ms Rand is sublime, thoughtful and a teacher. All guests and Mr Jackson are masters of conversation. The language conversed, American English i.e., is astoundingly good. Compared to the modern use of it, i.e. modern media.

Awesome. Never heard this interview before. Thanks for posting it.

astoundingly good! thank Aynd Rand Istitute!

Oh, that Michael Jackson.

Good discovery. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic!

Who was that lady caller who liked Ms Rand. That was sweet. I wonder if she was a well known actress?

The second call was very painful to listen to. Both the host and the caller kept interrupting her and I find that extremely annoying. Otherwise, it was great.

Michael Jackson needs to take a look at the man in the mirror. Either that or work on his ABC! Ayn Rand brilliant as always 💖

RIP king of pop Michael Jackson

First he found out what happens to Eddie Willers, then he went on to bust a move and write "Thriller" 😂

It's easy to be sure of the truth of one's ideas if one simply refuses to consider nuances. Nonetheless, a captivating listen. And we should all be thankful Rand defended the positions she did.

At the time of this interview, I think Ayn Rand was already at least 10 years into an affair with Nathaniel Branden, with the full knowledge of Rand's husband and Branden's wife. Her comments about monogamy are obviously a lie. Also, regardless of that, her position is not defensible, she merely states a person cannot love two people in that way at the same time. She provides no proof, she merely states it. Outside of that, she is brilliant in this interview. Her comments on racism are A+.

@@mrbriight Ayn Rand is not stupid. She made these statements that such an affair is impossible while she was still having an affair. This was 1966, she started her affair in 1954, it ended in 1968. It ended because Branden ended it, not because she finally figured out her morality. She was so enraged then that she banished Branden from the Objectivist associations. "Your understanding" is wrong.

@@Randsurfer I think that such an affair is impossible and some kind of compromise is inevitable one way or another. Whether she was lying to this person or not I'll have to see more psychological evidence. I must admit I'll have to brush up on if what we are discussing here was the exact nature of her anger. Do you have any examples?
