The interview is very interesting relative to the current Swine Flu outbreak, and contains some new information about the company's progress toward licensing of it's Flu and HIV drugs.
I have gone through the 18 minute 30 second interview and summarized what I believe to be several important passages, which I present below.
I also was able to "clean up" some of the telephone hum and balance out some of the audio levels, making the interview much easier to understand and more pleasant to listen to. I've uploaded this cleaned up file to some server space:

13:15 -- NanoViricides has been spending it's time on HIV and is "in discussions with multiple pharma companies now about our HIV drug . . . we feel that we can achieve what is called a 'functional cure' [for HIV]". CEO Seymour explained his use of the term "functional cure" and described how it is achieved.
15:10 -- Dr. Seymour gave his opinion on the current Swine Flu outbreak, saying "this could be it [could become a pandemic] . . . showing all the signs of 1917 [the beginnings of the Spanish Flu pandemic] . . . it's a perfect storm".

16:40 -- "We're rushing as fast as we can to build the manufacturing capability to produce a large amount of our drug . . . when you take it it eradicates the virus in the body".
