I've encountered some interesting lectures on ancient Persia lately.

Persian gardens: evolution and legacy (Asian Art Museum, 48:27)
The rise of Christianity in Sassanid Iran (University of Chicago, 43:41)

 

I like these:



Also, Adam Jensen, man of peace.

 

Meluhha: The Indus civilization and its contacts with Mesopotamia (University of Chicago, 58:48)

Just a slideshow of the renovation/reconstruction of the library I work at:

 

Dick van Dyke in long form interview with Marc Maron

Marc Maron interviews Larry Wilmore

Marc with Ben Stiller

I listened to all three of these back to back today and, like all interviews with Maron, they all had interesting insights. Which is why I've linked all three whereas I initially was only going to link to the last one I listened to. I genuinely recommend all three.

 

Ferguson was always so fun to watch, I really miss him and his show. I was an early adopter and very much enjoyed the evolution of the show and its steadily increasing popularity and growing cult following. Nowadays the only one of the late night hosts who comes close is Colbert, but he's really too much of a straight man to reach up to Ferguson at his best. The conversations Craig had with his guests were so free flowing and natural and really the only thing he did was mess with their head until time was up. And it had such a light and relaxed feel, you almost forgot there is an audience. Just pure fun.

Here's an example. Don't read the comments section though.
