Dmitry Podolsky has got his PhD from Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics. He currently works as postdoc at Case Western Reserve University. He is also one of the editors of NEQNET.
Just released… Previous lectures from the course can be found here. In this lecture (almost 2 hours!), Susskind discusses geodesics, parallel transport and curvature tensor.

I would probably find 2 hours (of geodesic equations in the class) exhausting (both as a teacher and as audience), but when one gets into the rhythm, the rate how much it hurts slows down.
