I appreciate that! It is always an interesting balance. There have been times where we've scrapped episodes because it felt like we didn't nail it. It is something we take very seriously without taking it too seriously if that makes sense.

Any time it strikes that I am overly generous is often because I am giving breathing room to the later and—even after research—lack a full enough comprehension to give a competent rundown of the former. I can't pretend to be a critical theorist. I'm mostly using the text as a jumping off point.
