Please add the interview he did on http://www.sorcerers.net/Main/Articles/baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-interview.php

Maybe the AMA with Dave Gross could count as an interview? It's a great read anyway, and I would think it belongs here as well.

@kangaxx

There's a new short interview here: http://1morecastle.com/2012/11/baldurs-gate-enhanced-edition-a-trent-oster-interview/

Not so many new questions, but we do get to know Trent's favorite game ever. You'll never, ever guess which game that is... :-)

@Bytebrain Done.

There's a podcast with an interview with Trent from my favorite iOS site TouchArcade.com

Haven't had time to listen to it yet, but you might want to add it to the list?

Here's an excerpt from the blurb on TouchArcade:

"At the top, Oster tells us about Enhanced Edition's new UI and usability features. He also talks specifically about how the iPad version of the game feels and what it was like to get Baldur's Gate's original code working on a new-fangled tablet computer. Later, we dive into a chat about cross-game saves and what's coming next from Overhaul after it releases Enhanced Edition this November 28 on PC and, maybe, iPad."

Thanks, @Bytebrain. List has been updated.
