This is just one of the best ideas I've come across, and I have to share it.
The Royal Asiatic Society, Korea Branch is a group I like a lot, whose events I wish I could attend more often.
Andrei Lankov is one of the North Korea experts whose word I respect the most.
YouTube is a place where you can watch videos for free.
If you put them together, you get this:
A Youtube lecture of Andrei Lankov on the topic "What does China Want with North Korea and What Can be Done About It?" --this is a fantastic topic that's intrigued me for a while. The lecture's a bit over an hour, so square away some free time to watch it, if you're interested in this topic. If the Royal Asiatic Society is going to do this more often, they might want to look into finding ways to improve the sound quality of the speaker's voice - it sounds like they're using the camera microphone, so there's a bit of ambient noise and the speaker's voice doesn't come across beautifully. However... I DO think it's a GREAT idea for the Royal Asiatic Society to put their lectures - or at least a few of their lectures - online.
Anyway... watch it! And maybe join the Royal Asiatic Society.

Looks interesting, thanks!
Well, if you'd like to pay for the recording equipment and set it up for them, I'm sure the RAS would be happy to improve the sound quality.
