The Genius of a Great Teachers

Was disappointed when I found this, listened to all episodes and there were so few because it’s new. Wish I found this when there was 400 so I could listen to them all at once. I will anticipate every new epi 💯💯 would love to also have audio of the full lecture(s)
They cut out a lot of actual information from the lecture

I listened to the 8 books episode and they cut out the titles of 2 of them and only mentioned the authors. What is the point of the podcast if they’re going to edit out what people are coming for?
