Weird

by Edward Capobianco

This podcast is filled with seemingly random images of science and art related things...it's very strange, non-entertaining, and non-informative. I was looking for something that would teach me something, but I didn't find it here. If you're looking for a cool, informative science vodcast, then try Experiment of the Week by Robert Krampf.

Quick and fun

by Katrina Willis

I watched everyone of these. The ideas, engineering, and creativity at MIT is amazing. To get to glimps into this world for 2-4 minutes at a time is great. I hope for more of these.

Good information

I've downloaded 2 dozen MIT videos all very informative.
