Thank you for posting these podcast s. The web has great potential for free education and this site is a great tool. Your effort is a valuable contribution and I hope many other talented people will help bring a new form of free education into reality.

Some topics are timely and others remain pertinent regardless of time. Hopefully that distinction will also be added to compilations of academic podcast s as well as categorization of topic material.

No need to reply as this is really a thank you for your great work.

All the John Hopkins Podcasts REQUIRE an authenicated IP address.
Therefore, these podcasts are no longer available to people outside the IP address range of John Hopkins folks.

Ryan – I don’t have the lectures you are wanting. If they do the classes again, you may be able to download them at that time.

I’ll let you know if I find them anywhere else online.

Can anyone HELP ME?

I fell in love with the OLS274 Applied Leadership lectures. Unfortunately, I downloaded about half of them before the site was disabled. Can you give me access to just that course, or direct me to where I could get them? I would pay for them, because they are incredible!

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Has anyone downloaded all of Purdue’s Applied Leadership lectures. I was stupid and didn’t download all of them when I had the chance. I loved the lectures, but only have about 1/4 of them. If you could upload them to an FTP or web site I’d love ‘em.

All the Purdue links are dead. I highly recommend the Physics for Future Presidents offered by Berkeley. The professor did an amazing job and it was never dry.

The Ohio State Astronomy course is good as well.

One subject that I noticed was sorely missing from this list was any Art classes. Like Art History or Theory.

Thanks for the list,
Greg

To answer some how-to questions above, someone on another site told me I can DL the MP3’s by going to the XML page and finding them individually and downloading them by entering that in the address line of my browser.

My friend is going to write me a little program, though, to harvest those links from the XML page and download all the MP3s with a many less mouse clicks, though. This will be a bit of open source coding, btw.

Great list. Thanks.

Great list. I am currently listening to Professor Richard Pogge's Astronomy 161 from http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast161/Audio/ . Didn't see it on your page; perhaps you can add it.

This is awesome! Would you please correct all the “John Hopkins University entries to “Johns Hopkins University”, though?
