In a rare online appearance, Helen is interviewed on Mind Chat by Philip Goff and Keith Frankish about her book-in-progress, The View From Everywhere: Realist Idealism Without God.
For highlights, see especially:
36:00 - Helen explains the basics of her novel form of idealism (and how it differs from Berkeley's).
53:45 - Why idealism is more plausible than you might have thought.
58:20 - How idealism enables a direct realist account of perception like no other.
1:56:42 - Why philosophy monographs should be followed up with a "for kids" version.
There's also a bunch of interesting meta-philosophical discussion throughout, reacting to Helen's explanation that she only has about 30% credence in idealism, and correspondingly aims not to convince others that it's true, but just that they should take it more seriously than they had previously.
