Which way is better?

I personally liked listening to the article/interview on Ai Weiwei.  Listening to him actually speak gives me a better understanding of who he is and where he is coming from during the interview.  Although I don't like how you can't listen to a lot of articles.  It seemed like the ones that interested me you couldnt listen too.  Also some of the ones you could listen to were very long, and that made it harder to understand.
