For the auditory types

...or for others whose schedule in summer leaves you lots of attention to listen to audio on an iPod or in cat, I thought to recommend a few amazing resources I've located.

First, somebody sent me a link to podcast called Speaking of Faith, noting that they played the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt's Summa (listen) as background. I've listened to a few shows featuring authors as distinct as Jacob Needleman, Thomas Moore, and Rick Warren, found all of them easy to follow and enlightening. Highly recommended.

Second, a blog entry, provocatively titled Skip the Tuition gives links to 100 full courses from a number of universities. I've been listening to Yale's intro to political philosophy, having read most of the texts in Gutterman's similar course. Other linked courses include Time, Money, and Love in the Age of Technology, Justice, and Death.
