NewMexiKen was disappointed in the history course mentioned in my post about American History for the iPod. To be honest I didn’t get through the first lecture, which is much like judging a book by its cover, I know, but . . .
I have started listening to Cal Professor Brad DeLong’s American Economic History (Economics 113) lectures, extracted from his Coffee and Tea Audio Podcasts. Skipping through all the administrivia in the first lecture, the rest of the first and second lecture have been interesting.
I enjoyed Ted Sorensen’s talk on the Cuban missile crisis and the rule of law very much. David Brion Davis’s discussion of how he came to be a historian and the study of slavery was good, too.
All of the above require iTunes, of course.
