Here is a 60min DOOM post-mortem by John Romero from the Game Developers' Conference.

If you look around the free section of the GDC site there are a lot videos about other classic games too

John Romero and Tom Hall, in fact.

It's quite an interesting talk - lots of people have interviewed John Carmack about the history of Doom, and he was certainly a core figure, but I enjoyed hearing a telling from outside the usual "id Software has been continuously successful for decades" frame of reference.
