The teaching company and audio lectures

Recently I downloaded a couple lectures from this company to listen too while doing monotonous stuff and I've gotta say I'm quite impressed with the 2 lectures I have. One was on Buddism and the other is how to listen to great music (aka classical). Both professors are suprisingly good to listen too and they have created some very interesting courses. Now I'm already done my degree and school so this is all for personal learning right now (gotta keep the brain in shape).
Anyone else done this or any other lecture series?

Haven't done this yet.
Think I may do it for the next long drive though. It's supposed to be the best way to stay alert.

as long as there's ones for science related subjects i think i'd be down for long train rides to and from school.

TTC has almost every subject covered, math, sciences, history, writing, music, religion, etc. I just finished downloading a history of Russia which should be pretty damn interesting. Plus I think your right steve, it's a great way to stay alert seeing as music can be hypnotic when doing simple things
