Free Audio Documentaries

If you're looking for some high-quality, stimulating audio documentaries, American Public Media has has produced dozens of hour-long documentaries with their documentary unit American RadioWorks.

Over 50 of their audio documentaries are available for free as streaming audio on their website. These documenatries cover a wide range topics including politics, history, social issues, and other current events. And if you'd like to download them they're also available for download at Audible.com.

I've listened to a few already including "Say It Plain: A Century of Great African-American Speeches" and "Unmasking Stalin". Both were done in the highest technical and professional manner. You can browse them all here:
