This popular American radio programme about science and philosophy is aimed at an audience of general listeners and is characterised by its innovative sound design. Each podcast takes a broad theme, such as Parasites, Placebo or Games and takes an exploratory, associative approach to the subject, aiming to stimulate curiosity rather than reach a definitive conclusion about the chosen topic. Each show is divided into several parts, featuring interviews with experts and occasional ventures into audience participation and ‘thought experiments’. The programme’s host Jad Abumrad is a trained musician and his background as a composer is evident in the podcast’s approach to sound, where music, speech and effects overlap, forming an integral part of the programme’s experimental, freewheeling ethos.

Offering educational videos for free is the laudable aim of this website, which has resources in three subject areas: History of Art, Economics, and Science & Innovation. The videos in the History of Arts section are available in French and English versions. The site aims for quality over quantity, presenting a number of HD video essays, each of which, for the History of Art section, focuses on a single painting, including Hans Holbein’s The Ambassadors and Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix. Material for Economics and Science is currently only available in French. Some of the films can also be bought as DVDs.

A podcast "based around ideas of the enlightenment" which promotes science, freedom of expression, scepticism, secular humanism, and often ends up dealing with the converse of these values: superstition, religious fundamentalism and authoritarianism. The show has featured numerous guests from the worlds of science, literature, philosophy and politics, including Frank Furedi, A.C. Grayling, Christopher Hitchens, Jonathan Meades to name but a few. The approach is often polemical but the result is always informative and entertaining. The programmes are free to download. The series is also broadcast on Resonance FM.

This collection of science videos was produced by Newton, a public service science channel, between 2011 and 2014. The videos are still hosted by the Guardian newspaper in a dedicated space on its website, and are arranged according to broad subject areas, including Physics, Mathematics, DNA, Technology and the Environment. The videos have high production values and are made with the aim of communicating scientific news, ideas, debates and controversies to a wide audience. Most of the films are around 15 minutes long, although some are shorter, and some, particularly those featuring lectures or talks are considerably longer.

Series of videos sponsored by the Science and Technology Facilities Council, which offer an insight into the research "backstage" at a number of British science facilities, including the ISIS pulse neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, and the United Kingdom Astronomy Technology Centre in Edinburgh.
The site can be navigated via an aerial view page, where thumbnails of the videos are shown next to the location where the research is carried out. The videos show scientists in their workplace explaining the work they do. These short films are supplemented by a series of Q&A videos where the scientists go into further detail about their work.

Founded in 2005, this American site pioneered split-screen video dialogues - or diavlogs - about politics and ideas. A central aspiration of the site is to present a diversity of views, rather than cleaving to a dominant ideology. The result is a lively forum that aims to help people see things from perspectives other than their own. The site features a number of different programmes, from Foreign Entanglements, which debates American foreign policy, to The DMZ, in which Liberal Bill Scher and conservative Matt Lewis discuss recent political events. The site’s main focus is political but culture and the arts, science, and socionomic issues are also represented. The site is well presented and the videos themselves have bookmarks to help navigation, which is helpful given the digressive nature of some of the material, such as this video where scientist John Horgan enthuses about why Jane Austen was like a scientist.

This online interactive resource depicts the Apollo 11 lunar module ‘Eagle’ landing on the moon and includes original Apollo 11 spaceflight video footage, communication audio, mission control room conversations, text transcripts, and telemetry data, all of which have been synchronised into an integrated audiovisual experience. The resource presents the moon landing as experienced by the astronauts and the flight controllers in a way which captures the drama of the event as well as highlighting its significance as a feat of engineering. A timeline guides visitors to the crucial moments in the mission, including: computer alerts, low level fuel milestones, and the landing itself.

A stimulating and useful resource for maths students, of all levels and abilities, Plus Magazine presents articles and podcasts about all aspects of mathematics, from the theoretical and philosophical to practical applications in cosmology, art, engineering, medicine and sport. There are also news articles and puzzles. The podcasts cover a broad range of subjects, including interviews and conference reports, as well as more in-depth features on a diverse range of subjects, including how gravity works, the ten dimensions of string theory and the weird and wonderful story of the Gomboc: a look at a three dimensional object which until recently no-one knew even existed.
Plus is part of the Millennium Mathematics Project, a long term national initiative based at Cambridge University which aims to help people of all ages and abilities achieve a better understanding of mathematics and appreciate the range and importance of its applications to science and commerce.
