Podcasts:

1) The following link is to the BBC podcast In Our Time.  This particular episode is about Mary Wollstonecraft, her life, and ideas.

Videos:

1) This is a lecture given by Jill Fellows.  It is an introductory lecture to Wollstonecraft's life and ideas.



2) This is a five-part lecture series given by Dr. Gregory Sadler.  He explores Wollstonecraft's ideas in detail.  Anyone from the novice to the advanced would appreciate these lectures.  




3) This a one-time lecture on Wollstonecraft by Dr. Sadler.  He discusses her life and ideas but not in as much depth as the preceding lecture series.  It is still valuable, though.


4) This is a talk given by Lyndall Gordon.  The video's description best explains the content of this lecture by indicating that "Gordon discusses how this independent, compassionate woman who devised a blueprint for human change achieved that distinction." 



5) This two-part lecture given by Professor Helen Irving discusses the life and work of Wollstonecraft.  This is another introductory lecture about Wollstonecraft's life and ideas.  It does not go into much depth about Wollstonecraft's ideas but does a sufficient job of hitting the major points.

Video:

1) This video lecture series is presented by Dan Robinson of Oxford.  He examines Hume's philosophical enquiries through the critiques of Thomas Reid.  This series is kind of a two for one, in that, we are presented with Reid's views as well as Hume.  In any event, the series is valuable for all levels.


2) An introductory overview of Hume's philosophy.  This series does not go into any significant depth, however.  So, this series is best viewed by the novice who has had no prior knowledge about Hume's ideas.



3) This lecture series is presented by Peter Millican of Oxford.  This series provides an overview of Hume's philosophy without sacrificing depth.  This series is worthwhile for people with previous engagement with Hume or for the novice who is picking it up for the first time.
