As some of you are aware we make audio versions of LessWrong sequences.  We are looking to hire someone from the LessWrong community who has a good voice and is keen to record the remaining sequences.  There is quite a bit of material as I'm sure you are all aware. 

Anybody who is interested please record yourself reading Politics is the Mind-Killer and send it to support@castify.co.  Please say what sort of recording device you used and keep the recording size rational.

Thanks to all of you who have been listening.

If you've been following the announced partnership between LessWrong and Castify, you'll know that we would like to start offering the promoted posts as a podcast.

So far, everything offered by Castify is authored by Eliezer Yudkowsky who gave permission to have his content used. Because promoted posts can be written by those who haven't explicitly given us permission, we're reluctant to offer them without first working through the licensing issues with the community.

What we propose is that all content on the site be subject to the Creative Commons license which would allow content posted to LessWrong to be used for commercial use as long as the work is given proper attribution.

LessWrong management and Castify want feedback from the community before moving forward.  Thoughts?

Edit: EricHerboso was kind enough to start a poll in the comments here.

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.
