Uncommon Knowledge is an American television show broadcasting discussions of current affairs and public policy. It was presented by Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, and concluded its ten-year run in 2005. The website contains an archive of transcripts and mp3 files, and in some cases streaming videos (in a variety of formats) of past shows, some of which concern philosophical issues, scientific ethics, and other subjects. Episodes include: 'Take it to the limits: Milton Friedman on libertarianism'; 'Disharmony of the spheres: science and religion'; 'In whose Image? Evolution and spirituality'; 'Love and marriage: Marriage in modern America'; 'Darwin's ghost: sociobiology and human behaviour'; and 'Attack of the clones: the ethics of human cloning'. The archives can be searched by keyword or browsed by date or topic. The home page also allows the users to see and access the most popular past broadcasts.
