    informative but all too brief
    there's alot more to be said in these.. and by leaving stuff out they can be misleading about the intentions of some ideas. all in all it's a great show.

    Well done. More please.
    A nice summary of significant concepts. The first episode was a bit too short and even the second could have been fleshed out. Even so, I look forward to more episodes.
