Speaking of iTunes U podcasts, I would really appreciate it if people could list specific courses that are not significantly hampered by the lack of visuals. Some courses (like Ben Polak's Game Theory course at Yale, and I suspect most other courses involving math) are close to useless when one only has the sound but are much better when watched.
Yeah, that's a problem. Maybe something like the "Oxford Martin School: Public Lectures and Seminars" or the "Global Catastrophic Risk conference 2008" is better.
I know, books or blogs are often more informative than podcasts. But reading a book while going grocery shopping, bicycling or driving is kinda hard. And the last post on this topic didn't generate much discussion.
So, I ask again: Does anyone know of some interesting podcasts out there?
I'll go ahead and list some of my favorites:
- Econtalk by Russ Roberts.
- Conversations from the Pale Blue Dot by Lukeprog.
- Rationally Speaking by Julia Galef and Massimo Pigliucci.
- Singularity 1 on 1 by Nikola Danaylov.
- Big Ideas and TEDtalks are sometimes worthwhile.
Lectures on ItunesU are of course great, too.
