There are a lot of recordings of lectures on the Critique of Pure Reason floating around for example, Bernstein Tapes, Leo Strauss, Glasgow Uni course,.. etc here for instance
http://www.openculture.com/philosophy_free_courses

But I can't find a free lecture series that cover the Moral philosophy texts ie:
- Groundwork of Metaphysics of Morals,
- Critique of Practical Reason,
- The Metaphysics of Morals.

Has anyone run across something like that? (Recordings of a lecture course on these moral texts)

Thanks for the above link.

I don't have any links to any online lecture course.

Noted there are some videos in Youtube on the subject, e.g.
Notice Professor Thorsby jumped into stating Kant's ethics is deontological.
Fundamentally Kant's ethics is not deontological but specifically and uniquely Kantian.

One point is often lectures, books and articles on Kant are presented by a wide range of different people with different views and biases, e.g. the philosophical anti-realists, the philosophical realists, the theological inclined, etc. They do not agree with each other on the finer points of Kant theories - which is very difficult to grasp.

That is why I prefer to read Kant's books CPR, on Ethics directly and supported by secondary sources.
