Mises Community Members--

I got a job over the summer (doing mostly filework) in an office, and since I work alone most of the time on this filework, I have the opportunity to listen to tons of podcasts and audiobooks.  

It's more educational than high school--and I get paid, to boot!  But I need more suggestions.  Lew Rockwell can't churn out podcasts as fast as I can listen, and though I've barely scratched the surface of the Mises audio library, I would love to listen to podcasts or media programs from other political points of view (I need to gain skills in argument and debate; learning to refute the other side).  

If you guys know of any other great programs in history, science, literature, philosophy, law, or any academic subject, I'd also really love to hear your recommendations.  

Thanks!

Any of the podcasts from iTunes U would probably work as some instruction in the mainstream.  Yale, Harvard, MIT, Standford, and UC Berkeley all have courses available in at least some (if not all) of the subjects you listed.  I also like EconTalk with Russ Roberts.  He once told of a janitor that spends the graveyard shift buffing the floors of a building and has learned everything he knows from the hours upon hours of audio of Roberts and the discussions with top professionals.
