LSE
Invaluable resource
It's very much to LSE's credit that they go to the effort of posting these lectures in podcast form. It sounds like most of them are public, but as others have pointed out, that doesn't mean the lecturers treat anyone like they're stupid or gullible. Speakers of all political stripe are represented, from a prominent Tory advisor to Slavoj Zizek, and overall, the lecturers are well-prepared and expect difficult questions from the audience. Very occasionally there are lecturers who have typed out a speech which they just read, which can make them a little tedious ("Secularisms in Crisis" was an unfortunate victim of this phenomenon). While currents of thought shift with time, LSE's lectures are posted often enough to keep up with events. This in combination with the high quality of the speakers makes these lectures an outstanding and invaluable resource to sift through, whether out of professional interest, or as a thoughtful bystander.Read full review »

More reviews of LSE
The LSE routinely hosts the leading intellectuals of our time. Unfortunately, listening to their recorded lectures is often unbearably painful due to the poor audio quality.

These podcasts bless me. Despite some lecturers being misguided idiots, most bring stimulating, intellectual ideas to the table.

Only noticed as I use another app to listen (which is up to date) however the Apple podcast app subscription appears to have stopped working. A pity as it is an excellent resource!
