TED talks are great. They have such amazing narrators and the topics they choose are fantastic as we ...
I'll check her out.
Didn't come out right, did it?
Ahem! I meant, I will check that talk out.
I was gonna ask y'all. Do recommend some more or any interesting ones you might across in the future. (I'll do the same).
I got a bunch of them downloaded but I never did get around to listening to them. The other thing I'd like to get around to are TTC (The Teaching Company) lectures (sometimes goes as TGC - The Great Courses). The torrents are awash with them. If you have data to spare, you should totally get 'em!
I hope you check her work out. Anything other than that can be a little too much of information. LOL.
Anyway I don't really have a very scientific way of looking into topics and listening into the lectures. I simply click on whatever I feel would be good. In this way I have discovered some gems while others were, let me put it subtlely, bullshit.
I would definitely share some good ones as and when I come across it.
People usually play audio books on their way to work, in their cars. I can imagine them playing self-help and motivational books setting the tone for the day, as it were. Anything else besides will just not work, I agree. For one, you can't back up easily on these mp3 players if you miss something - especially while driving or jogging - I mean it's not a tape. Hit the rewind button and the chapter begins again on these thingamajigs. There's a whole lot of disadvantages to audio books.
Audio as you said works best in the car when you're alone, but I prefer listen to podcasts like War Nerd and Razib Khan. So books are for reading and I can't imagine them being read to me.
