The other day I stumbled on the Berkeley Podcast site. Looks like for a couple of years now, Berkeley has been recording and podcasting some of their courses. Ostensibly, this is for students who miss lectures for one reason or another, but the site is public and it's available to anyone.

Some of the courses offered are really interesting. Here's a small sample:

Introduction to Archaeology
Bio 1A General Biology Lecture
Bio 1AL General Biology Labratory (sic)
Bio 1B General Biology
Chem 1A General Chemistry
CS 162 Operating Systems and System Programming
CS 61A The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
CS 61BL Data Structures and Programming Methodology
CS 61C Machine Structures
Econ 100A Economic Analysis--Micro
Econ 100B Economic Analysis--Macro
EE 105 Microelectronic Devices and Circuits

You can download them onto your iPod and listen anywhere and if you don't have an iPod, download them to iTunes and listen at work.

(Is it bad that they spelled "Laboratory" wrong on the site?)
