Educational Podcasts
Podcasts, if you haven't heard, aren't some airborne invasion of body snatchers (which was what the word suggests to me), but rather audio broadcasts which you can download and listen to on your computer, iPod, Zen Player, etc.
Some good ones I've tripped across:
Grammar Girl. Quick and Dirty tips for Better Writing.
http://grammar.qdnow.com/
http://www.qdnow.com/TOC.html
12 Byzantine Rulers.
The History of the Byzantine Empire.
http://www.anders.com/lectures/lars_brownworth/12_byzantine_rulers/
There is a lot of stuff happening in this space (frequency?), for example here's a list of free university courses on podcasts. May be fun just to drop in on an ivy league course in a topic of your interest while you are out for a walk with your mp3 player.
Somewhat related, since it came from the site that had the course compilations above, is an article on Life Changing Books... where Open Culture asked its erudite readers which books they've read which have had the biggest impact on their life:
