I was browsing amazon recently and came across these offerings from Joseph Goldstein:

Does anyone have any experience with these audiobooks? Goldstein seems to be well regarded here by many folks so I am considering picking these up.

He has done a long series of talks on the Satipatthana Sutta, which these discs on Amazon seem to be. You can get them for free or give a donation to Dharmaseed for their effort.
Goldstein is an excellent and experienced teacher, both in terms of Dhamma talks and one-to-one as a meditation teacher. The trime spent with them is well worth it.

+ 1 on Joseph Goldstein's Satipatthana Sutta series. I'm only on talk number 11 because I keep going back and listening to them over and over again. Lots of good info. I love his description of Dukha as a bad fitting wheel.
Re: Joseph Goldstein's "Abiding in Mindfulness" series
+1 as well, I am on session 21, and it is a magnificent experience. I load this up on my phone and try to spend an hour a day.
Re: Joseph Goldstein's "Abiding in Mindfulness" series
+1 working through this series of lectures thanks to your recommendation Tilt. I was separately recommended Joseph Goldstein's book "Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening" based on these same lectures. The two go complement each other very well. Being able to listen to Joseph Goldstein teach as if one were on a long-term retreat with him is a remarkable opportunity. However the book is great also if one doesn't have that many hours available to listen to the audio.
