Personal blog which features hundreds of links to a variety of resources about the life and work of Jane Austen and the Regency era. The extensive list of podcasts includes readings of the books, discussions by writers and academics as well as items on the television and film adaptations of the novels, such as this interview with Andrew Davies about his adaptations of the novels for television in which he explains why putting a seduction scene at the beginnning of ‘Sense and Sensibility’ was not done simply to shock the ‘Jane Austen faithful’.

This podcast is based on the simple idea of taking Hollywood scripts that have not yet been made into films and presenting them as full length radio plays, performed by Hollywood actors. The podcast is hosted by Leonard Franklin’s Black List site, which exists to support screenwriters by recommending their work to industry producers and professionals. Another interesting resources on the Black List site is 500 Feminist Films, a list of films (with links to imdb) based on a simple set of criteria: to qualify as a feminist film the film must have at least one of the following: a female director; a female screenwriter; a female lead; or features strong pro-woman themes. The list could be a good starting point for classroom/semimar discussion on the subject. The Table Reads podcast is also freely available in iTunes

An interactive educational resource based on the multimedia archive of filmmaker Sally Potter. At the heart of the resource is a Visual Browser which allows the user to view individual key frames taken from every shot in the film Orlando and link them to other archival assets such as script pages, call sheets, continuity reports etc. Each key frame also links to the clip from which it is taken so that users can view each individual shot from the film. The site is clearly laid out so that users can trace each stage of the film’s history from development, (scriptwriting, storyboard, design) through pre-production, production, post-production, the finished film and distribution. Additional resources called pathways have been created by the site’s users featuring research notes, image blogs, and annotations linked to the assets they have used for their personal research projects. A video presentation in the FAQ section explains the origins of the project. The videos are hosted on blip.tv and require the latest Flash plug-in to view.

Academics from the University of Edinburgh discuss a theme of contemporary relevance in this monthly podcast. The first episode saw professors from the schools of law, economics and history discuss the issues associated with Scottish independence before the 2014 referendum. Other podcasts have more of a magazine format, covering several topics, but the general focus is on current political, economic and social issues, including migration within the EU, the rise of Russian nationalism, and women’s rights, as well as more local issues, such as Scottish oral history and the negative effects of Edinburgh’s self-image. The podcast is also available on iTunes.

A portal which helps people to ‘find great podcasts’. Curated by Max Temkin and Veronica Corzo-Duchardt, the site presents a selection of mainly American podcasts, arranged under a number of topics, including Tech, Science & Education, Politics & Econ and Storytelling. An Interview page features transcripts of question and answer sessions with podcasters, writers, designers and other culturally-aware, creative people, who talk about their favourite podcasts, and why (and how) they like listening to them. The site works well because its focus is fairly narrow: the emphasis is on curation, and presenting a carefully selected range of interesting podcasts, rather than a comprehensive but overwhelming list of resources.
