I have been listening to the podcast for nearly a year now and I’ve loved it! Sam Smith was a great host with lots of energy and his episodes were scripted to include all the details that felt important plus some interesting asides that helped make the topics memorable.

I know Alex Stark is just starting out and he does seem very knowledgeable but so far he’s chosen topics that don’t lend itself well to being explained over a podcast. The latest topics really require diagrams and detailed images for students to really grasp the concepts and I would ask that he be more strategic about that. I understand they aim to get out the high yield topics but with a podcast I think they should be more mindful to first do the ones that can be more easily explained without visuals. The latest episodes do also seem a bit less organized as Alex sometimes goes back to something that was already discussed because he left out an important detail. Also as a side note, the audio has an echo-ey quality in the latest episodes that I’m wondering if they can fix.

Miss having Sam Smith as the Host!!
