At the BEA 2013 (Book Expo America) conference that took place at the end of May there were two panels that were recorded by C-SPAN and available via the superb C-SPAN Video Library (basically everything that has ever aired on C-SPAN) that might be of interest to some of you.
Along with the video a mechanically generated transcript is also online and searchable.
