The problem of course is that employers still expect to see a piece of paper with a degree from a recognized University. I wonder how long it will be before someone can say "I have subscribed to the podcast series XYZ from ABC University" and it will actually count for something.But you should do it for yourself, ultimately, not some employer.
Yeah I was hoping these would be podcasts like TWIT that are entertaining as well as informative. Its nice that these podcasts are available I guess, but I normally listen to podcasts during my college classes, and I am not bringing a college class podcast into my real college class... I would have no chance of staying awake then.

In my opinion, NPR still seems to have the best podcasts. But, I'll check these out.

@m3mn0nYou're right. Obviously I haven't listened to any of these podcasts yet.

Yes, we deserve higher quality from the podcasts we get for free on the internet.
