Feel free to shut this down and redirect me if there is already one of these but...

I've been on a bit of a 'spoken word' kick lately - I mean lectures, interviews that sort of thing.

Ubuweb is good, but i'd like to check out more philosophy and literature style things.

Anyone got any good recommendations?

Birkbeck has got some good lectures :

and if you're in London does free conferences, which is a brilliant thing, you don't have to be a student there to attend. I went to one on the Luddites last week which was quite good at points :

Could be of interest to resident horror-nerds: The Lairs of Cthulhu - fantastic public lecture on the relationship between Lovecraft and archaeology, by an actual archaeologist. Loads of great peripheral stuff about the complex and politically loaded relationship between material culture and ideas of nationhood.

Marc Maron (american stand-up comedian) interviews over 200 comedians here. They tend to talk about a lot of stuff other than comedy. Its a bit like therapy. Comedians are all so neurotic. Sometimes annoying but often fascinating and funny.
