Currently I do swap out music for TED talks quite often, the odd interview on podcast (to glean info from those more experienced than myself + gain exposure to new "things"), and also there are sometimes good tv series online than can be listened too without the need to watch; such as the bbc's latest "the virtual revolution" http://www.bbc.co.uk/virtualrevolution/ amazing just how much online video can be listened to rather than watched. regards!
