Rhetoric 10 (Berkeley) (review, site, feed)
Daniel Coffeen tries a provocative approach to get you to know rhetoric, not just by learning it, but also by experience. Coffeen is not a regular university professor and the style and form of the course this is tangible and make a refreshing impact.

English 117s (Berkeley) (review, site, feed)
Lecturer Charles Altieri has a voice with frequent upper pitches. He is very passionately introducing the Shakespeare course, but the high squeak is tough to suffer on an MP3-player. I like the enthusiasm, I like how he explains we must read (at least twice) in order to understand. So I will stick around and accept the pitch.

You might want to take a look at Latinum, the podcast for teaching spoken conversational Classical Latin. It has had over one million file downloads since it started up 12 months ago.

Thank you, that is a very good point. I am aware of this podcast. It is part of a whole world of language podcasts that in general is the most successful of educational podcasts: the language learning podcasts. They come for many, many languages. I have tried several of them, but have not yet opened that niche for reviewing. If ever I do, I will tackle many of them and Latinum will certainly be one of them.
An outstanding resource for finding the podcasts is Open Culture.
