Due to network inadequacies, a certain small percentage of the audio in this recorded interview is unintelligible, including a crucial bit towards the start in which Dr. Forsyth answers the question, "What is BigEars?" In order to remedy this deficiency, here, from the BigEars home page, is a short list of facts about what BigEars is:

* BigEars is a unique market research and survey service.
