Media Education podcasts and video interviews

I am using del.icio.us to collect a number of podcast and video interviews and presentations relating to media education, youth media and new media.

So far I have some excellent presentations by high profile researchers such as David Buckingham, Danah Boyd, Henry Jenkins, and James Gee - just to name a few. I am slowly working through them, and it's quite an amazing experience to be able to create your own online mini-conference in this way.

It also really raises questions about traditional ideas of how academic knowledge is controlled and distributed. If you can create your own "Media Ed Radio or TV" online, you can certainly circumvent the traditional processes as either a presenter or audience member.
