I posted yesterday about some cool podcasts of university courses at Berkeley and Ohio State University. Here’s a site, ScienceMadeFun started in the UK by four University of Manchester graduate students, that offers podcasts about astronomy, zoology and other subjects.
It’s geared towards a younger audience, is presented quite well and the enthusiasm really shines. […]
