Spiegel has been getting a lot of well-deserved coverage this year; the latest addition is an interview with Geeta Dayal for Frieze Blog.
Pertinent to dis_integration's perceptive comment above, here is an interview Spiegel did with the Shimer alumni magazine in 2004. My favorite quote:
For anyone at Shimer reading this interview, don't worry too much about what you're going to do after Shimer. It'll happen, and it may not be anything you could predict because it may not be something that has been done before.
