Don't know much about geography? Physics? Nanotech? There are a number of really good video and audio resources available. Try the Research Channel, the Royal Society, Open Source Physics, everything you wanted to know about economics, the dismal science or it's cousin, political science... Then there is MIT World, Carnegie Mellon's open source learning initiative, Connexions, Vega, and the Princeton collection. Wikiuniversity is always interesting, Berkeley does a mean podcast, and the Edge video library is always, well, cutting edge. Stanford has the iTunes connection, and Fathom is a wide ranging site. Do you have a great resource? Share it in the comments section below.
Educate yourself
Learning how and when and by whom ideas were developed and discoveries made is critical to understanding them colossal edifice that is human knowledge, especially if you aspire to make a lasting contribution to building upon it. (This is part of the reason a good university degree includes a huge amount of reading.) The BBC’s In Our Time series is a great place to start dipping a toe into the history of science and philosophy, whether to expand your general knowledge or seek out interesting areas for further research.
BBC Radio 4: In Our Time
It’s available online and by podcast, so you no longer need to be in the UK to take advantage of Radio 4’s thoughtful but accessible programming.
Further to the history comment, there's also http://globetrotter.berkeley.edu/conversations/ and http://www.talkinghistory.org/index.html
