The Atheist Experience TV Show
This weekly cable access television show produced by the Atheist Community of Austin, Texas, is geared at a non-atheist audience. Every week it fields an unpredictable mix of live calls from atheists and believers alike and the hosts try (not always successfully) to ensure measured and reasoned discussion of the issues raised. Outside the local area the shows are downloadable as audio podcasts, streamed as videos on blip.tv or for sale on DVD.

Netflix

Royal Academy of Engineering
This Media Archive of the UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering streams video and audio recordings of lectures, debates and interviews held at the RSM since autumn 2007.

Using Medical Recordings in HE
This website, hosted by JISC Digital Media, offers advice on legal, ethical and other issues relating to making and using clinical healthcare recordings for learning and teaching. The principles and related guidance materials were developed by the British Medical Recordings Task Force, a collaboration of cross-sector organisations, to encourage shared understandings across clinical and educational settings about good practice for the creation and use of medical recordings for educational purposes. Advice is given on patient consent, copyright and licensing, storing, access, and use and reuse of clinical images, videos and other recordings by outside institutions. A podcast explains the issues that professionals face when using recordings and how the new guidance can help.
