Few people have made government more visible to more Americans than Brian Lamb, the CEO of C-SPAN. Because of Lamb’s efforts, millions of Americans have seen live proceedings of the U.S. House and Senate, public hearings, political debates, and lectures on public policy, history, and literature. Reason.tv has a short interview — about six minutes — with Lamb.
Here’s the video:

Here’s a description of the video, from Reason:
In 2003 Reason named C-SPAN Founder and CEO Brian Lamb one of our 35 Heroes of Freedom for “turning a surveillance camera on the den of iniquity known as the U.S. House of Representatives.” Lamb sat down with Reason.tv editor Nick Gillespie for a wide-ranging — and distinctively non-stoned faced — discussion about the network, his views on politics, and a possible alternate career choice as a drummer for Merle Haggard.
Approximately 6 minutes. Produced, shot and edited by Meredith Bragg, Dan Hayes and Josh Swain.
