In my DVD lectures for this course, I noticed that Dr. Haslam has a noticeable accent (to my Oregon ears anyway) when pronouncing the letter a in words like afterlife. So I got to digging and found that he moved from Britain to the U.S. with his parents when he was five.
He later met Prince Charles and then spent 17 years as the Duchy of Cornwall's archivist. Interesting stuff.

Great Courses Lectures on CD
I've been looking at the Great Courses lecture series from The Teaching Company for quite some time and finally found some great titles at the King County Library.
I'm currently listening to Great Battles of the Ancient World with Professor Garrett Fagan of Penn State. Really interesting stuff with great perspectives. If you have a KCLS library card, check out their selection.
The library also has over 100 video lectures in the series on DVD. I prefer the audio version though; I can listen to them on my bus commute.
