Excellent Compilation

The individual eight minute segments are wonderful, but these compilations are awesome. I hope they keep putting together these hour plus long segments, much easier to collect them all and to listen to.

Good read

It was easy to follow and understand the general themes. It is an enjoyable introduction for anyone who may want an overview before going into specific topics
