Charon QC is the alias of Mike Temple Piggot, who is responsible for this collection of informative podcasts. The site hosts a number of different series and although the cluttered layout can make navigation tricky there is a lot of worthwhile content. The Tour Report series consists of one-to-one interviews with leading legal figures, such as this discussion with Charles Christian, Editor in Chief of Legal IT Insider on the role of information technology in modern legal practice. Another series - Without Prejudice - features Charon QC in discussion with journalist David Allen Green and barrister and former government lawyer Carl Gardner. Other podcasts focus on human rights and legal ethics as well as looking at the legal profession itself. In addition to the podcast the site also features Piggot’s InsiteLaw magazine which contains links to news stories, links to law related posts from UK and other bloggers and a lively discussion board run by the members.

This resource from the University of Warwick was created in 2012 to celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Dickens. The site features short films, podcasts, and articles as well as a 45 minute documentary. Led by Professor John Mee, the videos and podcasts explore various aspects of the novelist’s work, covering Dickens and crime, Dickens in relation to his philanthropic works, as well as wider aspects of Victorian society. Writer Andrew Davies contributes to the discussion on screen adaptation, talking here with Professor Gary Watt about the cinematic nature of Dickens as well as the challenges he has faced in adapting the works for the screen. Aspects of certain novels, including Bleak House, Great Expectations and Little Dorrit are explored in greater depth in individual podcasts. The discussion on Our Mutual Friend, for example, looks at the destabilising effect of the novel’s dark humour and its presentation of human beings as commodities to be bartered and traded.
