http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/tls/tls_20130121-1216a.mp3but I must admit now that I have listened to the talk, her arguments weren't that convincing (she just said it's unrealistic for children not to watch TV in our society and since they are watching anyway let's make sure it's good, she didn't actually make a strong case). I looked at the videos she's helped create (Babybright) but wasn't too impressed, they are focused on visual / audio stimulation, not delivering actual learning.
