This came out last week, but I just realized that I didn't advertize it on here.

This is a kick-ass website hosted by Rutgers University. It has
interviews and oral essays by some of the biggest names in physics.

Of course, I'm partially biased to it because for once, there's a
considerable coverage of people from my former field of study of
condensed matter physics. Look at the section on Emergence and
Transformation. You can hear from Phil Anderson, Bob Laughlin, Seamus
Davis, and George Whitesides.

thats a really good website zapper, thanks. these experts give you short but informative speeches, about research they are doing, in an entertaining, accessible and clear manner. And I've only checked out some bits of the intro page so far...
