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 encylopedia from Italy consists of thousands of short videos - generally between three and five minutes long, many of them based on entries from the Treccani Encyclopaedia and approved by the Istituto dell’Enciclopedia Italiana. Topics covered include Art and Design; Cinema; Culture; Economics and Politics; Music and Dance; Tourism; Science and Sport. This could be a good resource for Italian language students but the breathless editing and distractingly loud music which accompanies the voiceovers does not necessarily present the content in its best light.

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.

Presented in a half-hour magazine format, this series, which started in May 2012, features authors and academics discussing their latest books, generally in the political and economic arena, but venturing into linguistics, film studies, psychogeography, anthropology and even Scandinavian crime novels. Podcast 4 - London 2012 Olympics: What happens when global meets local? - sees Architectural Advisor to the 2012 Olympic Games and LSE Cities Professor Ricky Burdett talking about the primacy of legacy and the importance of leaving something that becomes "a real piece of city", followed by writer - and Hackney resident - Iain Sinclair’s take on the Olympics, in which he takes issue with the accelerated rate of change, arguing that the history of the place, and the needs of local people have been pushed aside by the demands of the "grand project". In Podcast 5, Melanie Williams, Lecturer in Film and Television Studies at the University of East Anglia, explains how film and gender studies make natural companions.
