Podcasting for Ideas
Thursday, March 01, 2007 → by Danieru
I've recently become a PODCAST addict. My iPod overflows with lectures on Quantum Theory; video talks about religion, evolution and the destruction of tribal cultures; conversations about authors, philosophers and ancient Indian mathematics.The era of Idea-casting has arrived!
Here are some of my current favourites:
or iTunes | Big Ideas | ![]() | ![]() | Accessible lectures on a variety of thought-provoking topics |
| CBC Ideas | ![]() | ![]() | Explores everything from culture and the arts to science and technology to social issues (from CBC Radio) |
| Brain Food | ![]() | ![]() | "Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it" |
| In Our Time | ![]() | ![]() | The big ideas which form the intellectual agenda of our age (from BBC Radio4) |
| Skepticality | ![]() | ![]() | Skeptical discussion, critical thinking, and assorted fun |
| Skeptoid | ![]() | ![]() | Rationally examined pseudoscientific claims by an evil skeptoid debunkatron |
| TED Talks | ![]() | ![]() | Trusted voices and convention-breaking mavericks, icons and geniuses (video) |
If you know of any other delectable podcasts, videocasts or related brain food, please do post them in the comments section.
Here's to mind expansion through the use of headphones, pocket hard-drives and splendid colour video...
