Guest on FORA.tv This Week

Here’s a quick fyi: I’m mak­ing a small guest appear­ance on FORA.tv this week.

In case you’re not famil­iar with it, FORA.tv hosts a large and con­stant­ly grow­ing col­lec­tion of videos that fea­ture impor­tant thinkers grap­pling with con­tem­po­rary cul­tur­al, social and polit­i­cal ques­tions. Or, put sim­ply, it’s YouTube made intel­li­gent. As you’ll see, their mis­sion is rather sim­i­lar to our own. So I was pleased when they asked me to be “a guest” for the week and high­light some of my favorite videos from their video trove. Here is what I select­ed:

• The 20th Cen­tu­ry on Tri­al: Nor­man Mail­er
• Ein­stein: His Life and Uni­verse
• Fran­cis Fukuya­ma: The End Of His­to­ry Revis­it­ed
• Jim­my Wales on Wikipedia

Seg­ments of FORA’s talks are also avail­able by audio and video pod­cast. (Get more info here.) Also, on a relat­ed note, Prince­ton Uni­ver­si­ty spear­heads a some­what sim­i­lar video ser­vice, except that it is more specif­i­cal­ly ded­i­cat­ed to pub­lic affairs. It’s called UChan­nel. (Have a look here.) Final­ly, if you like what FORA and UChan­nel have to offer, you may also want to spend some time with our Ideas & Cul­ture Pod­cast Col­lec­tion. Our full pod­cast library is here.
