On this page you can find an overview of all the interviews with a direct link to each individual article, grouped by era.

All interviews have also been transcluded onto this single page for more convenience in reading and searching.
The following properties can be used for more convenient browsing: Title, Author, Publication, Date, Issue, Pages

In April 2017 we created a brand new page that will host notable interview quotes on various domains.

To Do

There are a lot of (mainly foreign) interviews in our possession that aren't yet uploaded to bocpages because they still require a lot of attention. All help in either transcribing and/or translating to English is appreciated. We also miss a lot of magazine scans.

See below for the details. Contact me if you would like to help us out.

PS: They seem to really like Japanese interviewers. ^[1] They often go more in-depth in their questions, and BoC follows suit in their lengthier responses. Check the translated Japanese interviews which recently got added to the wiki.
