This past Thursday, Barack Obama sat down for about an hour with the editorial board of the Washington Post (much to the dismay of the NYT). The audio of the interview is available for streaming.
A text summary of the interview is also available, along with several sidebars that focus on Obama's answers to specific questions, like issues of concern to DC residents. Links to the sidebar items and a transcript of the interview are on the same page as the general summary.
Most of the interview is serious, and there is some standard political hedging, but he does get off some funny lines, and overall, it's pretty interesting. It is fairly amazing to listen to some of his answers while trying to imagine George W. Bush in the same situation.
