BBC lecture series "Triumph of Tech" starts tomorrow

The BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures are an annual series of fascinating, thematically linked learned talks. This year's theme is "The Triumph of Technology." The series kicks off tomorrow. Last year, the Reith Lectures were available as downloadable MP3s; the site is vague on whether they'll repeat it ("Lecture audio and transcripts will be available after each broadcast"), but I've got high hopes.

Lecture 1: Technology will Determine the Future of the Human Race
Lecture 2: Collaboration
Lecture 3: Innovation and Management
Lecture 4: Nanotechnology and Nanoscience
Lecture 5: Risk and Responsibility

Link (Thanks, Gherkin!)

Update: The Reith Lectures will be available as MP3s (including podcasts) -- yay!
