The BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures are an annual series of fascinating, thematically linked learned talks. This year’s theme is “The Triumph of Technology.” The series kicks off tomorrow. Last year, the Reith Lectures were available as downloadable MP3s; the site is vague on whether they’ll repeat it (“Lecture audio and transcripts will be available after each broadcast”), but I’ve got high hopes.
Lecture 1:
Technology will Determine the Future of the Human RaceLecture 2:
CollaborationLecture 3:
Innovation and ManagementLecture 4:
Nanotechnology and NanoscienceLecture 5:

Update: The Reith Lectures will be available as MP3s (including podcasts) — yay!
