The University Channel at Apple's iTunes Music Store

I wrote a couple weeks ago about Stanford and Princeton's announcements that each institution planned to deposit free audio and video at the Apple iTunes music store for anyone interested to download. I tuned in this afternoon and noticed that there is a University Channel in the Music Store and upon closer inspection saw a lot of content. Here are the first three that were listed this afternoon.

• "American Media: Still the Fourth Estate?" Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Bill Keller, Executive Editor of the New York Times
• "What's the Matter with Kansas?" University of Virginia, Miller Center of Public Affairs. Thomas Frank considers the strategy by which over the last 35 years the Republicans have transformed themselves from an aristocratic minority into the nation's dominant political party…
• "Illegal Trade: The Consequences for the Global Economy," Council on Foreign Relations. Moises Naim, Foreign Policy Editor

If you've not set up iTunes yet, I highly recommend it. The content is growing and there is clearly a huge educational upside underway.
