Here’s a video of that event – can be more useful as in a lecture portion, V. Analayo uses a slide-presentation.

Downsides:

downloads (e.g. using ClipGrab) to a 412 MB mpg4 file 

it's long (2hr 14 min) and has parts (beginnning and between interview and lecture) with nothing going on to see.

Thank you! I skimmed past the email notification from Wisdom, so this was a welcome reminder. Will watch with my morning tea.

Viññāṇa nidana is just collective consciousness (knowledge).
Why rebirth should only be involved in this.
Rebirth is about existing again, in a new destination. And about recollecting the ancient destinations, one has been in previous existences.
Analayo’s friend might just be recolleting part of viññāṇa nidana. Not especially a former life as a bhikkhu, for instance.
