The Bumper Thread of Self-improvifying and Edmucashun

So, I've been marking student papers and their assignment was to select one of five podcasts/videos of research seminars and review their chosen paper.

Obviously, I had to watch the seminars myself. This got me thinking about how many academic papers and presentations, or educational videos are freely available online.

So here is a thread for such videos.

I'll start with this seminar paper (podcast recording)on 18th century militia soldiers:

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is very good - a series of podcasts ranging from Genghis Khan to World War II. Some of them are very intense.

I'll have to check that out!

I didn't do a full intro to the previous one as he is sort of a colleague of mine - if he happened to be searching his name and paper title and happened into the Cellar...well, that would never do!

This one I can introduce. I really like this historian. She's done some excellent tv and radio programmes. Her work on masculinities has been really interesting and innovative.
