Transcript
Partial
Tolkien details his thoughts on a recent article about him in a paper, and what he thought should have been written about.

He then tells the respondent a bit about his wishes for a biography (if one is to be produced) and says that his son(Christopher) has already been installed to oversee anything like this should it come to pass. He then remarks on his own perceived place in history. Tolkien says that he is a relatively minor figure, aside from the fact that two books that he has written, have sold and continue to sell well.
