The AQR Library is a valuable online collection of resources and documents which provides news, background information and reference materials for qualitative researchers.

TED Talks
Little pockets of video that last anywhere between 9 and 20 minutes, perfect for waiting for a bus or for inspiration between charts of a debrief. Some recent favourites are Dan Cobley of Google talking about what Physics teaches him about Marketing, and Johanna Blakly of Norman Lear Centre talking about Social Media and the End of Gender.

The Hendrick’s Lecture Series
Perhaps more esoteric but devastatingly fascinating nonetheless. Live recordings of talks at The Last Tuesday Society and also Radio Lab which is produced by WNYC (part of America's public radio) and tells stories about science in a way that is accessible, lively and very, very clever.

The Guardian’s Media Talks
A podcast must for anyone who does media research...or is just interested.
