KICP, U of Chicago seminars and colloquia
KITP, UCSB, Talks, Programs, and Conferences
Aspen Winter Conference 2019: Astrophysics with Gravitational-Wave Populations | Slides
Alan Guth's MIT Early Universe 2018 course, with lecture notes, slides, problem sets, and quizzes. Lecture notes are here. The course is available through MIT Open Courseware (though from an earlier year) here.

*Incidentally, Tracy Slatyer from MIT presented lectures at TASI 2016 with the same topic title. Her TASI lectures paper is 1710.05137 and the videos are available here (in the list, they misspell her last name as Slater).
