Science and Society, launched in June 2003, was one of the first-internet radio programmes, and the site claims that it was one of the first in the United States to introduce downloadable podcasts as a value-added service. The podcasts present interviews with more than 600 world leaders in science, industry, and education. It focuses on Environmental conservation and sustainable energy policy, Medical breakthroughs, including cancer research, genetics and genomics, and bioengineering, Nanotechnology, Space exploration, Robotics and computer science and K-12 science education. The podcasts can be searched by themes such as Genetics and Genomic Medicine, Robotics and AI and Stem Cell Research. Each entry incorporates information about the speaker and bullet points summarising content.

Colin Grimshaw, who worked in the Imperial College Television Studios for over forty years, maintains this blog, which showcases material from Imperial’s archives. The entries which accompany the videos provide a commentary on the history of the college, as well as an interesting record of the use of moving image technology from the 60s onwards, both in terms of the practical and technical aspects of video production, and in the wider sense of how Imperial pioneered the use of video in science education, as this entry on Professor Eric Laithwaite demonstrates. The videos are also available on YouTube

This is the website of the Oral History of British Science programme. At the heart of the project are 100 interviews with British scientists about environmental science, British technology and engineering from 1940 to the present. The home page provides a good introduction to the project: it features short audio and video clips, with transcripts, of scientists and engineers talking about their lives and careers.
Users can search by themes (including education and lab work, and also by scientific discipline. The site also includes links to articles and papers written by members of the project team.

This podcast is aimed at professional software developers but its aim - ‘to be a lasting educational resource, not a newscast’ - means that it is suitable for use in teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level. The discussions are generally not devoted to specific platforms or vendors, but deal with concepts, issues and strategies that can be applied to different aspects of software engineering.

GEOSET (Global Educational Outreach for Science, Engineering and Technology) is a freely accessible, searchable internet gateway to a selection of SET and related educational materials. Most of the videos take the form of ‘concept modules’ - rather than whole lectures or courses - focused on specific topics, in the form of split-screen presentations, in which the video of the presenter is in one window and the educational material synchronised and presented in a second window. GEOSET also links to other major sources of educational material such as at the Vega archive site and the Royal Society. Users can filter by age suitability, type of video, and subject.

Michael Wesch is an American cultural anthropologist, whose area of academic interest revolves around how people use digital media and how new media affects human interaction. In order to explore human uses of digital technology, Wesch formed the Digital Ethnography Working Group with a group of his students at the University of Kansas. At the same time he posted a video The Machine is Us/ing Us on YouTube which advances the idea that digital technology will change everything: the use of hyperlinks and xml will create an interconnected digital world in the image of those who have created it. Wesch’s point is that we need to be aware of this in order to make it happen. His ideas are explored in more depth in An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube. Both videos are also available on this site (and can be downloaded as wmv or Quicktime files) along with other videos, made by Wesch and his students, together with a thought-provoking blog.
