Great Podcast
Just discovered this podcast, but I am already enjoying very much :)
Very cool but for audio levels
Just listening to this podcast for the first time; super cool, and a great premise! I just wish the audio was done with a little more care: in particular, keeping the levels of the speakers the same and mastering to be loud enough. Also it would be helpful to write the name of the theorem into the show notes. Otherwise, I can tell I am going to enjoy listening to this podcast, thanks for doing it!
