Thanks Jon. I've been looking for something like this for free for ages.

There's another one, I believe its called TED.


Academic Earth - Jonathan Meer - 11-26-2009

Yup. TED is good stuff too. Different sort of style though; TED is more oriented toward 15-20 minute talks (which are absolutely GREAT as discussion starters for small groups, or bite-sized chunks to listen to and think about on car trips).

Awesome, can't wait to get into watching some of these.
