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 website is the result of a collaboration between the Humanities Division and the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford. The project aims, through an interdisciplinary approach, to analyse and explore the fertile and complex period in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, when early modern science began to take shape, and it aims to do this by focusing on the networks of learned correspondence from the period. In this way the project hopes to provide a unified way of approaching a subject which would otherwise - given the variety of its disciplines, professions, institutions and settings - be extremely daunting. One outcome of the project is a union catalogue - Early Modern Letters Online. A number of podcasts and videos document the proceedings of workshops and conferences, software demonstrations, and introductions to tools and resources for the digital representation of correspondence.
