The best talks I've ever heard on the SaaS business which I know are publicly available:

http://www.microconf.com/videos-2013.html -- no individual hyperlinks but you want the three of them: Rob Walling's, Jason Cohen's, and Erica Douglass'. Jason's is the best if you're pre-product, Rob's if you're in "OK, so the SaaS clearly works, how do I scale it" phase. (There are another few I would recommend from Microconf 2014 but they're not up yet.)

Long Slow SaaS Ramp of Death: http://businessofsoftware.org/2013/02/gail-goodman-constant-... <-- single best talk about running a SaaS business I've ever heard

I also like the Mixergy interviews. My favorite ever is Andrew's interview with Team Wufoo. I don't believe it is publicly available anymore, as Mixergy archives are available to paying subscribers only. (Well worth the money, though I have to watch selectively because apparently Andrew can record them faster than I can find downtime to watch/process them.)

Is there a way to download audio files of these Microconf presentations in Vimeo?

[kawsper]

Last time I looked at downloading movies from Microconf, it wasn't possible. I have used the tool youtube-dl (http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/) to download movies/sounds from Youtube, Soundcload and Vimeo.

Unfortunately, Microconf have marked their videos as embed-only, which you probably need to workaround, the tools I have tried don't work.

Edit: Oh, it seems like they have opened up, you can download them with this command: youtube-dl "https://vimeo.com/72140534"

If all else fails, 1/8 inch out of headphone jack to 1/8 inch into microphone jack, hit record, hit play.

Thanks for those links.

Mixergy's founder has a easy style of interviewing and explaining things.
