Cool. The hard part is collecting the list relevant talks, the easy part is ranking them. If there is a way to get the right set of academic history talks it wouldn't be that hard to go from there.

I haven't watched much historical lectures, but I do enjoy documentaries and historical fiction. Another idea I've kicked around is a site that organizes a bunch of historical documentaries and historical fiction into a geo-timeline visualization. And include the ability for people to comment on and discuss the historically accuracy of the films. But that's a different project...
