Devoted C-SPAN watchers probably already know that each Sunday night the channel airs their Q & A series, showcasing interviews with “interesting people who are making things happen in politics, the media, education, and science & technology.” But non-devotees and casual watchers alike may be pleased to learn that past episodes of this series can be viewed online at C-SPAN’s Q & A site. The site also allows users to access transcripts of the interviews and find shows through keyword searches.
