I never published these and only just found them on an old recorder I used to use. There is a bit of background noise throughout, which might be one of the reasons I never posted previously, but if you can get around that, they are very enjoyable. (Note: I edited out some small details, like questions that didn't go over well, or Julie Newmar giving me her personal email address (I never contacted her (sorry, Catwoman))) Here are the portroids I took during the interviews (which can be heard on the podcast): Adam West Julie Newmar Burt Ward (accidental double-exposure) Enjoy!
