Knowledge by Ear?

Posted by Cliff on from the food-for-your-mind dept.

jgercken asks: "I recently survived a 16-hour drive solo thanks to having downloaded 10+ hours of old Off the Hook shows, a 2600 sponsored radio program. It is so refreshing to hear news from a technically cognizant perspective. Is anyone aware of any similar programs or maybe sources of recorded lectures?"

  1. Space and Quirks by jayrtfm · · Score: 4, Interesting
    The Space Show focuses on timely and important issues influencing the development of outer-space commerce and space tourism, as well as other related subjects of interest to us all. {recent show with Brian Walker, the Rocket Guy}

    Quirks & Quarks on CBC Radio One Join host Bob McDonald each week to find out the latest in science, technology, medicine and the environment. We cover the quirks of the expanding universe to the quarks within a single atom...and everything in between.

    also, check out the websites of conference recording companies. That $300 seminar you missed at PC Expo is now probably a $10 tape or CD.

  2. audible? by Polo · · Score: 4, Informative

    Although Audible is a pay service, it has an enormous amount of diverse material.

    I think my favorite so far has been "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman".

    I signed up for two books per month and I'm WAAAY behind on listening to it all in the car (some books are as long as 24 hours).

  3. I like the Linux Symposium and TechNet Cast Files by elucidus · · Score: 4, Informative
    The Ottawa Linux Symposium Back Years Are Available Online. There are some very detailed and technical presentations. I liked the treatment of Rsync from 2000 "The Rsync Algorithm", highly recommended.
