Great Courses Lectures

Anyone listening to any Great Courses lectures?


If so let’s hear about the course and your opinion of it.



Just did Great Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt by Bob Brier.. interesting but ancient studies seem to be allot of creative fantasy loosely based off what can be determined of the sparse clues left.


Just started George Orwell A Sage For All Seasons by Michael Sheldon. Starting it’s really good.

Geology/psychology etc.. and not listening but watching.

Got tons of other stuff from them.

There are some offered for free on audible plus under the bio memoir.. that’s where I have been tuning in mostly

Many of the Great Courses lectures are also available as audiobooks on Audible. I listen to them when I can’t sleep - which is often. Recently I’ve enjoyed:

The History of Rum

Pirates

Medieval Myths and Mysteries

The Rise and Fall of the Borgias

Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories (helpful for participating in CEPS discussions)

I like them generally speaking, some more than others. I liked Robert Greenberg's lectures on music, his take on Scriabin sonata 5 was interesting. It varies but they are all at least decent, at least the ones I've seen.
