  Don't forget open courseware: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/ There are similar resources for a lot of top tier universities. I've since lost my bookmarks, but maybe someone can post the ones for Harvard and others.

I absolutely love Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders and have listened to every one of them, many two or three times. The two podcasts that have really spoken to me are both on negotiations. "Secret to Successful Negotiations" and "The Art of Negotiation".

From the title the post seems to be a reply/response/comment about the recent attention given to the free programming classes. While these podcasts are certainly useful they pale in comparison to the free class project. Sure opencourseware is great and has been around for a while. But stanford is actively engaging with the distance students who are using the materials for free. It is an amazing contribution. Its 2011 and the internet is finally making good on one of the utopian promises that we first heard of with the advent of radio, then TV and most recently the internet.
