I was trolling around on iTunes and found a couple of interesting talks that may be of interest to our group.
The first is from Entitled Opinions, a Stanford radio program by a professor named Robert Harrison. In this particular episode from November 2005 he talks with Joshua Landy, another professor from his department about Proust. I found it quite interesting, even though it has a couple of little spoilers. Here is a link to the file directly:

and a link to his show

The second was a talk about reading letters and other texts. The speaker used Proust's letters as an example, so Proust is just a vehicle for the talk. However, it is very enlightening about Proust as well. The link to the audio is here:

I found both of these in the iTunes University section of iTunes by searching for Proust. There are more things in this section, but mostly in French so I haven't taken the time to listen.
Have a wonderful holiday!
