“Everything was spelled out perfectly. Going through the history was user-friendly; making it chronological made it easier for me to grasp and appreciate how changes in the thinking progressed. The way you set it up – all of it – made it accessible for me, and it is not easy material for me to digest. Love the tone of the way you both regard the topic and the material on the whole.

As a listener, I couldn’t help but get excited and want to know more.”
