For anyone who missed this year's Massey Lecture last Friday at U of T, don't fret. The City of Words, by celebrated writer, essayist, novelist, and anthologist Alberto Manguel, will be broadcast on CBC Radio One's IDEAS each night at 9:00 p.m. beginning Monday, November 5 running to Friday, the 9th.

As a new feature this year, each of the five lectures (unedited and complete with audience discussion) will be available for download starting November 5. However, only one new lecture podcast will be available every Monday for five weeks. And for those who are still hungry for more, past lectures are available for download, known as the "Special Delivery" podcast. Some nifty podcasts include historic lectures by economist John Kenneth Galbraith, civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., and urban theorist Jane Jacobs.
