Doug Hall: an inventor’s perspective

Woody Norris: the video feature
A video interview with inventor Woody Norris, credited in the original listing to MIT, appeared alongside the show’s promotional material. It reflected the site’s interest in established inventors as well as people presenting their first prototype.
American Inventor on television
The same page listed two commercials for American Inventor. These references sit alongside the wider community’s written response to the programme: enthusiasm for invention, questions about judging, and firsthand accounts of the audition process.
