Approachable & Intelligent Course
This is the best iTunes U series I have listened to. The lectures connect the aspects of death to the classic philosophical questions (existence of God, mind-body dualism, free will) in a manner which is both accessible and challenging. The audio quality is superior, so that the listener can focus on the concepts rather than straining to hear.

This bias can be occasionally off-putting, but those who disagree will find themselves better able to consider their positions.
