This is kind of like the "I Candy" forum when someone dumps 500 porn pics. Intellectual porn.

Uncommon Knowledge is what I would call an "intelligent" version of the O'Reilly Factor - sort of "Charlie Rose with debate".

Episodes are avilable in audio, video, and some in MP3 format.

The host is a conservative - though for the most part I believe he remains somewhat moderative. Usually, there is a conservative and a liberal. Sometimes, a conservative and a moderate conservative are on the show, and liberals usually get a 2:1 overpowering, but for the most part, there is at least a balanced debate, and the host plays the devil's advocate.

Some of the shows are an interview with a single author - but there is a vast well of knowledge in this show I would encourage everyone to check out.

Any and all ideas you can think of - WTO, Terrorism, Conservatism, Liberalism, Stem Cell, Evolution, etc. are searchable and the entire show is available online.

There are video and audio archives on every issue from Sudan to Global Warming to Orwell to Animal Rights, etc.
