Soon after, he followed up with a second recording, ''Ten Minute University'', in which he rapidly delivers humorous 60-second lectures on various subjects such as comparative literature, physics, economics, and psychology. Originally released on audiocassette in the 1980's, both recordings were re-released on CD in 2004, with accompanying books.
