Yes, I have a bunch of them...The CDs work best, I think.
They are wonderful. Just finished "Bizantium" It is the Christian history of Asia Minor (think Turkey) , the Middle East, and eastern Europe for 1200 years after Christ was alive.
Curiously my favorite, so far, is "Chaos" which is about things that are not geometrical. Although it is a DVD it is good listening, from the next room.
The good thing is that if you are interested in a topic, they will eventually get it for you!
Just ask...I wanted American History from discovery to 1776, and they got it!
The history of Languages is one,
The history of English is another,
I have the Metropolitan Museum in NY and the Louvre in Paris, both lots of pictures from their collections.
Space explorations, medical stuff, about music,
American and other pieces of world history, arts and philosophy are just some of their lecture series.
Some of them are 24 lectures, others more, others less.

Thanks so much for your answer. I will go ahead and order some. ♥

Yes I do. Christian music. It is also a great way to pray while I sew.

If I'm planning I listen to music. If I'm actually crafting I watch DVD's. I've had a habit of watching Gundam Wing ever since I made my denim quilt in 2007. When I was making that quilt I watched the first half of GW (as I didn't have the second half) while I was making that quilt over and over so kind of became a habit to watch while I am quilting.
