Neat! Even I can tune into it any time here <http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/info/lectures.html> - better than al those wonderful live lectures I've had to miss, not living in California any more. When I lived in Berkeley from 1966-73 I joined the Friends of the Bancroft Library for a few years. A great experience.
