« Johnny Cash, meet Suzanne Somers | Main | Switching off the incandescent bulb »

Monday, March 5, 2007

The Open Culture blog announced on Friday that its website now links to hundreds of "educational and cultural" podcasts. A peek at the Arts & Culture section of their podcast library does turn up pretty impressive results. This morning, I streamed, downloaded, or visited the homepage for such podcasts as:

* Barnes & Noble: Meet the Writers
* Guardian Unlimited - Books
* Slate Audio Book Club
* The New York Times Book Review
* CBC: The Best of Ideas
* Council on Foreign Relations
* France Culture: R�pliques
* Leonard Lopate Show
* In Our Time
* NPR Talk of the Nation
* Philosophy Talk
* This American Life
* BBC: Mark Kermode's Film Reviews
* Art Institute of Chicago Musecast
* MoMA Think Modern Lectures
* Boston Symphony Orchestra Conservatory

The Globe's Ideas section should have a podcast, don't you think? Speaking of which, where is the latest installment of Alex Beam's Hate Mail?
