I agree with many of the comments filed regarding web content. I'd like to see some changes made regarding the look of the web site.
Specifically, I think there needs to be some work done around how the videos are filed. Currently, there is a long list of them and it is overwhelming for readers.
They need to be categorized and filed so readers know how to find them. The easier the web site is for people to navigate, the longer they'll stay on it.

(ed. note: you might want to have a look at how the NY Times organizes their video: a large video player,their nine most recent videos, and an accordion list of videos sorted by category and type in a single sidebar)
