Loving the level of detail that is going into this - it’s quite granular and, once the host gets his seas legs, the narrative episodes tend not to be boring at all (I’m not personally a huge fan of the interview episodes, all of his guests are experts in their fields but I suspect that not all of those guests excel at, say, teaching undergrads.😇) That said, it’s absolutely worth a listen solely for the core narrative! 😀
Great
