This is in reply to Apple's comment in reply to Lily on "My name's Apple" (apple, 2009).
There is a lot of rubbish, and a lot of stuff that I'm not interested in on YouTube, but a lot of great talks and lectures are also posted there. One YouTube member that I like a lot is TED, which is an organization that brings together leading scientists, philosophers, other academics, business leaders, and others every year. They then post all the talks online at YouTube.
The talks last about 30 minutes each. They are for an educated audience, but are not highly technical.
The TED talks Director enty page, with the talks listed by popularity, is probably a good place to start. The link is http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=TEDtalksDirector&view=videos&sort=d
If you're looking for something to listen to, have a look around. There is a wide variety of speakers, on a wide variety of topics, from modern physics to the role of religion in modern society. And it's easy to pause, go back, and listen again. You might even enjoy the talks as I do.
