The stated aim of this resource is to create a public space to discuss issues at the point where science and social policy intersect. The site presents a series of lectures, interviews and readings from various conferences and symposia with the emphasis on serious current scientific research and its moral, ethical and philosophical implications. The subjects covered include cognitive science, neuroscience, stem cell research, oncology, evolution and aging. The site has much that is interesting but of particular note are the proceedings of the Beyond Belief conference, a lively wide-ranging conference on science and religion featuring a large group of eminent scientists and philosophers, including Richard Dawkins, biologist and philosopher Francisco J. Ayala, planetary scientist Carolyn Porco and co-founder and Director of The Science Network Roger Bingham. TSN’s website features streaming videos and podcasts, which are also available for download.

The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show produced by the Atheist Community of Austin, Texas, geared at a non-atheist audience. Every week it fields an unpredictable mix of live calls from atheists and believers alike and the hosts try (not always successfully) to ensure measured and reasoned discussion of the issues raised.

The BBC has created a Reith Lectures microsite. At present 194 broadcasts are available, with the earliest recording being Frank Fraser Darling’s broadcasts from 1969. The Reith Lectures were inaugurated in 1948 by the BBC to mark the historic contribution made to public service broadcasting by Sir John (later Lord) Reith, the corporation’s first director-general. The very first Reith lecturer was the philosopher, Bertrand Russell who spoke on ‘Authority and the Individual’. Among his successors were Arnold Toynbee (The World and the West, 1952), Robert Oppenheimer (Science and the Common Understanding, 1953) and J.K. Galbraith (The New Industrial State, 1966). More recently, the Reith lectures have been delivered by the Chief Rabbi, Dr Jonathan Sacks (The Persistence of Faith, 1990), Jean Aitchison (The Language Web, 1996), Patricia J. Williams (Race and Race Relations, 1997), John Keegan (War and Our World, 1998) Anthony Giddens (Runaway World, 1999) and Onora O’Neill (A Question of Trust, 2002).

Culture Unplugged is a dynamic, not-for-profit organisation with a ‘vision and aspiration to integrate disparate parts of the self and the global human society. It aims to achieve this, primarily by leveraging the power of new media and extending the effort to offline events and actions.' To this end, the website invites filmmakers from around the world to upload films on social or spiritual issues for online viewing and holds regular themed ‘festivals’ following which films are kept in the archive for future viewing. Festival themes so far include Green Unplugged, Humanity Explored, Spirit Enlighened, and We Speak Here. There is a facility for viewers, if they so choose, to submit financial contributions which are passed on to the filmmakers. The website has a very international feel and is somewhat chaotic. However, there are some interesting films that are searchable by festival theme, genre, geographic region, popularity and duration. fillMedia network is a separate section of the site which provides ‘a platform for cross-pollination of ideas, spirit and knowledge among storytellers, content producers, professionals from social/scientific arenas and global audiences.'

Freedocumentaries.org strongly believes that in order to have a true democracy, there has to be a free flow of easily available information. Unfortunately, many important perspectives, opinions and facts do not make it to our televisions or cinemas, so the site was set up to allow anyone with an internet connection to watch a movie and educate themselves or simply explore another perspective whenever they want., free of charge. The site also enables the work of independent filmmakers to be accessible. Documentaries are arranged in the categories: 9/11 and London Bombing; Activist ; Animal Abuse; Election Fraud; Environmental ; Female-Focused; George Bush; Globalization; Health; Human Rights; Media; Politicians; Religious; Slavery; Societal; War Documentaries.
