some others I found worthwhile checking:
Human and Animal Behavioral Biology - Robert Sapolsky
General Relativity - Bertrand Russell - ABC of relativity
For LWers I believe Yudkowsky>Feynman>Drescher in explaining Quantum Physics by analogy.
Memetics, from the standpoint of engineering effective memes -> Made to Stick
Memetics, as a discipline, field of knowledge -> Tim Tyler
Anything he talks about - Steve Pinker
Zoology - Dawkins
Cognitive Neuroscience -> I have delved long and hard in this field and have yet to find a good explainer. Jeff Hawkins and Terrence Deacon are ok.

Biotech trends -> Juan Enriquez
Statistical trends in humans -> Hans Rosling
