I feel the same way as the parent, and I would say I have a strong preference for Video. I wouldn't need crazy production value, even if you just did something Khan-Academy-style and wrote down terms and showed diagrams of how some of this works it would help me a lot. I found your article pretty interesting but also pretty overwhelming since I'm not fluent in this area.

My next preference would be something like base.cs (https://medium.com/basecs) where, similarly, you at least define terms and draw some diagrams. I find it much easier to follow this stuff when there's something to look at with relations etc.

While I love podcasts, I find learning anything like this pretty much impossible by listening to them. This is partially because it's harder for me to always follow the concepts just by listening, and partially because I'm usually only somewhat engaged (I'm exercising, or driving to work, etc.).

But, maybe I'm also not your target audience, because I have far too basic an understanding of this stuff, so take it with a grain of salt.
