Interesting Tech-Related Online Talk Radio?

Posted by simoniker on from the yakity-yak dept.

kabrakan writes "Finding myself in an extremely boring tech job, I find the best way to pass the time is to listen to someone speak, specifically an interesting conversation about science, or a comedian. After exhausting NPR's database, could anyone recommend any online repositories of spoken word entertainment, especially talk in the technology world?"

    Man... I'm trying to remember... the one about the meeting place in California where all the top world politicians go... oh yes... the Bohemian Grove

    Although mainly propagated (sp?) by Alex Jones, who is somewhat of a nut, the hidden video he got of it is very interesting, to say the least.

    I mean... on one hand, you have these Pagan type rituals being performed at night, on the other hand you have picutres of Bush Jr./Sr., Cheney, major Dems and Reps., and many other world leaders and major political/business heads there during the day.

    This site has the MP3s from the show when Alex Jones was on. It was very interesting to say the least.

  3. IT Conversations by pmorrison · · Score: 3, Interesting

    IT Conversations has a bunch of interesting IT audio content. Well, interesting if you want to listen to people like Bruce Schneier, Tim O'Reilly, Joe Trippi, Philip Greenspun and Steve McConnell.

    Actually, if you are looking for hard core science, you could check out the The KITP lecture archives. They are hard science lectures covering some really cutting edge stuff. Now while about 85% is well over my head, there are lots of "overview" lectures (and slides) in there that I found really interesting. A great little treasure trove of science.

    Antioch Radio. You get old radio serials from the 30s and 40s, including Sci Fi shows.

  6. H2K2 and others by Comrade+Pikachu · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Some of my favorites, like Changesurfer and Quirks and Quarks have already been mentioned.

    How about:

    - panel discussions from the H2K2 conference.

    - a college course on SF and Fantasy literature.

    - the DV Guys focus on the art and tech of video production. (Terrible bumper music. Just suffer through it)

    - The Teaching Company has some fantastic for-pay courses on CD and DVD.

    - Lastly, I gotta mention The Infidel Guy. The focus is on atheism, so it's not for everyone, but there are some great interviews in the archives with people such as Massimo Pigliucci, Michael Shermer, Paul Kurtz, and Michio Kaku. Lots of contorversial and thought provoking talk on the subject of religion, philosophy, and science.
