About six months ago, Julian Barbour did a introductory-level talk, attempting to explain the ideas in his book 'The End of Time'. The topic of his book, Yudkowsky has blogged about several times, but to the non-mathsy non-physicists, this talk might be a good introduction. It's very easygoing, and has also persuaded me to buy his book.

If someone has already linked it, please say so.
Yudkowsky's related posts can mostly be found by typing 'Julian Barbour' in the search bar.
