@ Bob(Big) – I just ran across the 161 and 162 podcasts via a link to a link to a link etc. on iTunes and am DLing them even as we speak (write? type?). Alas, I won’t have time to listen to them before the 100,000-mile-wide asteroid takes us all out in the next hour or so.

There’s also (supposedly) an ASTR 1010 and ASTR 1020 set of video podcasts, but I keep getting a message that the connection isn’t working. Oh well…….. I can’t keep up with all my subscriptions anyway.

p.s. @ BA – I’m waiting for yours to resume. They’re the greatest. I watched the first batch one right after the other.

And let us not forget U.C. Berkeley and the Astronomy Department’s Dr. Alex Fillipenko, a renowned teacher and lecturer, seeker of dark holes, supernovae, dark energy, etc. For an example of his expertise hear a podcast of his talk given in Nov. ‘06 at the Univ. of Hawaii (go to AstroTalk).

Prof Richard Pogge of Ohio State University podcasts his entire ‘Astronomy 161′ and ‘162′ series of lectures. 161 concerns the Solar System and all within, while 162 concerns astrophysics beyond the solar system. I learned a lot. It’s free.
