All of Hitchens' media files: 93 GB of Christopher Hitchens !

From Reddit:
Hitchens Archive 1.0 [torrent - 93GB]
I've finally organized all the Hitchens audio/video I could find and put them into 1 big torrent for everyone to download :)
It was a lot of work organizing it, but I think it's worth it to share these files since you can't trust youtube or the other sites where these files are from.
The torrent is around 93 GB.

But how much of our perception of "sainthood" is built on hype and not facts? This episode reveals the dark side of the so-called enlightened ones and delves into why we're so susceptible to buying into their bullshit.
