Naturally, in the intervening years, there has been a veritable digital explosion of online material presented at no cost. This may explain why pioneers like The Teaching Company are offering some of their packages at greatly reduced discounts [incidentally, I was given the set of Gary Gallagher lectures as a gift, and you can't go wrong with that product].
More recently, I happened upon this nifty collection of 15 video and audio pieces from the National Portrait Gallery, ranging in length from a 4-minute snippet to an 85-minute lecture by James McPherson. It's really nicely done, all in the spirit of commemorating the 150th anniversary.

My only problem with all of this cheap online learning material is that one of these days bean-counters at schools and universities will "realize" that they no longer need human educators like me.
There doesn't seem to be any shortage of students in the classroom -- despite relentless efforts to digitize everything. But I know what you mean.
