A History of the World in 100 Objects
'High-brow’ audio recordings on a range of topics. This Radio 4 project brings together history and culture in a study of 100 objects currently exhibited in the British Museum.
Apple - iTunes
(requires iTunes installation + a means of playing mp3s, but a wealth of listening material and video here)
TED
There's a wide range of talks and lectures on this site, many of which are quite short (some are under 6 minutes) - useful either if you're busy or if you want to do some really intensive listening practice.
An impressive and useful feature of the TED website is the way that interactive tapescripts are linked to recordings. You can see the tapescriptto the right of each video, and clicking on a word will take you to that point in the video...not only that, you can call the tapescript up as subtitles...in English or - if you're desperate for help - in a choice of alternative languages.
