Nice tv conversation between Sabine Hossenfelder (backreaction.blogspot.com) and Peter Woit (Not Even Wrong -- www.math.columbia.edu/~woit/wordpress) on physics and institute funding.
Not actually about string theory, but really seems to be about how fields develop and get funded, maybe lessons for us. Also apropos of Jack's earlier question. http://bloggingheads.tv/diavlogs/12950 Note that the site's indexing of the conversation is not accurate.
