James Burke needs to be on the sift. So awesome- taught me almost everything I know about history. They used to play this series and connections all the time when I was in high school. Absolutely chock to block full of fantastic voice samples that have been totally neglected by today's electronic musicians. A shame, really.

I would rather have put the very end of this series, a ten minute monologue about balanced anarchy- I would say a vision of the blogosphere that is almost 30 years in advance. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be on youtube.

I love everything by James Burke. Wonderful documentarian.

Connections and this was a favorite.

I tried posting this a while ago, but the uneducated savages here didn't share my fascination.
