"The team is building this report slowly, taking care to place every bit of information in the best order. This specificity makes the podcast easier to listen to, but it also serves an integral purpose to the show. This podcast sounds great, which is important to mention. However, this team being so structurally careful is critical to telling this story. They’re making it easy to follow when by all means it should be difficult to follow. I admire the care this podcast appears to be taking, and the time that is being spent on making sure the story is told well and as fully as possible. "
