A platform for podcasts covering the arts, social sciences, business and economics, and science and the environment, this independent, not-for-profit initiative was set up in 2011 by a group of academics, journalists and IT specialists and aims to keep abreast of research in the academy as well as work that throws light on events in the news, thus combining rigorous scholarship with an up-to-the-minute accessibility. Recent podcasts include Laura Mulvey’s Death 24x a second in which she analyses the relationship between stillness and the moving image in cinema; an interview with Angela Phillips, Reader in Journalism at Goldsmiths, University of London and chair of the ethics committee of the organisation, Media Reform on the background to the Leveson Inquiry; and a look at Youth unemployment in the UK with author Callum Biggins who has written about the subject for the London-based liberal think tank CentreForum.
All the podcasts are accompanied by a full transcript and the site also features a blog and links to other educational sites.

A blog that brings together resources available on YouTube for language learning. The blogger, ‘Elan’, uses his expertise as a language teacher to select and annotate the most useful of the hundreds of free video language tutorials uploaded to YouTube from around the world. Some are well structured, multi-part courses, while others are of a much simpler nature. In theory, you can start learning a foreign language online from the very beginning and reach an intermediate level of fluency. As well as selecting YouTube videos, he recommends sites with a significant number of language activities such as free listening materials, grammar online tutorials, reading "handouts", etc. Most are free of charge, some not.
