    For more cultural awesomeness I recommend:

    Stephen Fry's podcasts, especially those about Oscar Wilde:

    http://www.stephenfry.com/media/

    ABC Radio National's Philosopher's Zone:

    http://www.abc.net.au/rn/philosopherszone/

    that's all I can think of for now... I will update this later as I think of things
