This podcast offered by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation features lectures, conversations, and debates about the big ideas that have changed our world in the past and the present. Currently on the feed, veteran Australian broadcaster Terry Lane talks about art works that have changed the world as he discusses these works with biographers of the artists. Past podcasts cover how Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist helped England raise living standards, how Leni Riefenstahl's film Triumph of the Will fueled the popularity of Adolf Hitler & the Nazi party, and how Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin helped to spark the Civil War. Stay tuned to this one.
