Buff Up on Your Economics at the Gym
The Apple iTunes Store is offering a new service, called iTunes U. There are lectures, recorded at various universities, inlcuding Duke, UC Berkeley, MIT, Penn, Yale and several others. There are lectures on economics, for example, or on Law & Society (I picked up a couple of lectures on Max Weber). The general slant in law-related offerings seems to be broader topics with political and historical implications. But there are several topics that are technical enough. It pays to spend some time browsing, since it isn’t easy to access the content by topic. Also, and I hope that this can be fixed, the lectures are listed alphabetically and it is not always easy to tell the order in which the lectures were given. I am listening to a course on economics by Prof. Gordon Rausser (UC Berkeley) at the gym these days. There are also links to course webpages and course materials. And the lectures are all free.
The sound files of the Oyez Project are also available through iTunes—they let you listen to Supreme Court oral arguments. The 2006 term is up, and older recordings, sorted by subject matter are added regularly.
