Not worth it

the content was interesting, but it really isn't worth the money, especially since it still has the dryness of a typical audiobook, as opposed to something like a podcast. Also it really does try to tackle too big of a subject in a far too small amount of time, if you want to learn anything meaningful just listen to a proper audiobook, or settle for a short youtube video or something.
