Great content

But some of the mnemonics and other memory aids are pretty forced and kinda annoying with all the sound fx + bells and whistles IMO. Definitely will still keep listening, but would appreciate less distractions in future episodes

These episodes are awesome and so useful! I love having the short segments to do a quick hit on a topic while I’m walking or eating. Sam is great, he keeps it light while also giving super helpful info.
