The video ('Full Program') doesn't play past 00:16 ('We talk about glo--'). Tried Google Chrome (1.0.154.59 and 1.0.154.64) and Firefox (3.0.10) with Adobe Flash Player 10.0.22.87 (the latest). Hopefully a temporary problem. The MP4 video download seems to work fine. Plays past 00:16 , anyway. Haven't finished watching.
