Since 1995, THE WISDOM PAGE (now at www.wisdompage.com) has made wisdom-related resources available to the Internet community: information about the nature of wisdom and how it can be developed, various on-line texts concerning wisdom, references to books about wisdom, information about organizations that promote wisdom, wise activities, listserv groups concerned with aspects of wisdom, and streaming audio and video presentations related to wisdom. THE WISDOM PAGE PODCAST is another approach to serving the informational needs of wisdom-interested people worldwide. Individual podcast episodes by WISDOM PAGE founder Copthorne (Cop) Macdonald and others focus on issues related to the development of personal wisdom and the introduction of wise values into societal institutions. All audio episodes are in 32 kbps MP3 format that works well with either a hi-speed or a good quality 56K dialup connection. These files are available as streaming audio presentations and can also be downloaded.

1. Directly from this page as Flash-enabled (.mp3, .flv) or Silverlight-enabled (.wmv) streaming media, or as downloaded files — playable on Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and other software (See below)
