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.

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.

This resource has been produced for teachers and students of phonetics, lingusitics and speech therapy. A collaboration between five Scottish universities, it consists of synchronised ultrasound video, audio and 2D/3D diagrams of modelled speech and spontaneous speech, from a variety of different regions in Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Canada and New Zealand. The site’s accent chart presents a grid of words and speakers, so that users can compare how the same word is pronounced in different countries and regions.

This science and natural history podcast series is distinguished by high production values and an innovative use of video. Its mission is to produce science, nature and environmental films which explore the interconnectedness of the natural world. Produced by graduate students of the School of Film & Photography - MFA in Science & Natural History Filmmaking, the site’s "podcasts" are really short films which are organised according to theme. There is no search engine but the arrangement of the videos into twelve separate categories means that exploring the site’s content is relatively straightforward.

The official website of the Nobel Prize includes audio and video material of interviews, lectures and speeches by Nobel Laureates as well as biographical information, transcripts of speeches and links to other resources. The audiovisual material is scattered across the site rather than organised as a single resource, which can be frustrating, but there are riches here if one takes the time to seek them out. Noteworthy examples include this excerpt from Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz’s Nobel lecture, from December 1980, and a video recording of Martin Luther King’s acceptance speech on being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
