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 educational site is the creation of the American Physical Society and presents information about current research in physics in the form of vodcasts and podcasts. The podcasts are also available at iTunes. A section called Science of the Sphere is a collection of 14 videos of physics demonstrations and experiments made by astronaut and chemist Dr. Don Pettit on board the International Space Station.

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.

A stimulating and useful resource for maths students, of all levels and abilities, Plus Magazine presents articles and podcasts about all aspects of mathematics, from the theoretical and philosophical to practical applications in cosmology, art, engineering, medicine and sport. There are also news articles and puzzles. The podcasts cover a broad range of subjects, including interviews and conference reports, as well as more in-depth features on a diverse range of subjects, including how gravity works, the ten dimensions of string theory and the weird and wonderful story of the Gomboc: a look at a three dimensional object which until recently no-one knew even existed.
Plus is part of the Millennium Mathematics Project, a long term national initiative based at Cambridge University which aims to help people of all ages and abilities achieve a better understanding of mathematics and appreciate the range and importance of its applications to science and commerce.

This podcast is presented in a magazine format and features interviews with researchers and scientists at Imperial College, London, as well as round-ups of the latest science news. The podcasts are distinguished by their variety: a typical example covering how gene therapy could treat a rare form of blindness, how economics shapes discourse on climate change and how to protect creative industries while fostering innovation. The podcasts can be streamed or downloaded free of charge and can be listened to as a whole or in individual chapters.

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.

The Institute of Physics (IOP) is a scientific society which aims to advance physics research, application and education and engages with policy makers and the public to develop awareness and understanding of physics. Its Video and Audio resources page contains a range of material, covering videos aimed at schools, with advice for teachers in primary and secondary education, to lectures (some of which are available to IOP members only), as well as a more light-hearted, yet visually striking, series of experiments collected under the heading Physics Tricks. More seriously, in response to the statistics showing how few girls move from GCSE to A-level physics, the IOP commissioned 3 video profiles of female physicists making a success out of their lives with the aim of encouraging more young women to consider the study of physics as a route into their career of choice.
