Good Podcast

A). BUT it COULD BE A GREAT PODCAST IF ONE audience member could tamper-down his excitement a bit and allow the rabbi (and other participants) more time to speak. I’m sure he isn’t aware, but his behavior is actually distracting, especially to those of us who are trying to listen and follow via podcast apps.

B). Another suggestion— Perhaps I missed them, but are notes available for the longer lectures? Even a list of terms would be helpful.

I’ll continue to subscribe. Thanks for all you do.
