How it all started

Our story began in 2006 with a bold dream and a rented studio. As a distance-learning entrepreneur, I saw technology as the key to democratizing learning. By using cutting-edge media, I sought to give the world’s best professors a platform to reach everyone, not only the privileged few.

Each day, thoughtful people worldwide use Learn25 to enjoy lectures once only heard in the world’s premier lecture halls. I invite you to scan our catalog of hundreds of audio and video programs on history, science, psychology, health, religion, and other engaging topics.

I have found the courses offered informative and thought provoking. They make it easy for me to learn during my hour long commutes on the bus. I highly recommend them.

I have several of the courses and have been very happy with them. I love listening when I'm driving and then later I can listen again and take notes. Great company!

I have found the lectures excellent. Easy to listen to when on the go or when working manually on other things. The speakers are clear and instructive.

The content and variety of the courses cannot be found in any other way. The engaging style of the lectures is very consistent in its quality. It provides an opportunity for learning, meditation, and reflection at your own pace and in your own time that is invaluable. Thank you.

I appreciate the opportunity to hear these presenters from wherever I may be as I would otherwise not be able to benefit from their instruction.

All the presenters are clear and enjoyable to watch/listen. The study guides are a great help too.

The professors are well chosen for their command of the subject and their ability to deliver the material in a most interesting and easily understood manner.
