I thought Museum-L subscribers would be interested to hear the latest 
lecture released on the Ideas podcast.
Ideas is CBC Radio's premier program of contemporary thought. The 
latest lecture that I am referring to is a fascinating meditation on 
museums by cultural critic Adam Gopnik. His lecture, entitled, "To Sit 
or to Talk?" was the 2006 Eva Holtby Lecture at the Royal Ontario 
Museum. While some of his thoughts will be common knowledge among 
museum professionals, some of his concepts are quite thought-provoking 
and the Q+A afterward is also likely to be of interest.

All the best,
