Mostly great show...but so annoying when someone talks over audio sources to explain basic stuff which ppl can pause and google if they don’t know. Pls let the clip play through once without interruptions and then go back and dissect it for ppl who need it - and those who already follow can skip the explanation. otherwise, this show is excellent
