Audible pick of the week: The Great Courses
Audible (now?) offers a series called The Great Courses which features hundreds of lectures from top tier university professors. Not sure how new this is but I just discovered it. I've got A History of Hitler's Empire, 2nd Edition queued up: 6.5 hours of WWII goodness by professor Thomas Childers from U Penn.
