I tried watching the first six minutes of one if the above videos and it was all just fluf or advertising for his sponsors. No actual information. Podcasts in general seem like such a poor and inefficient way to acquire information. A brief article in Wikipedia that can be the jumping board for further explorariob is always so much better for me.

Also, you can install Sponserblock so that such segments are automatically skipped on youtube.
The adverts are at the beginning. Just skip forward if you don’t want to listen to them.

These podcasts are actually very dense with information once you get past the adverts.

Same. Use the time guide provided under the video, makes it easy to skip ads or sections you are not interested in.
Clever -- I'll use it. Hadn't noticed it before.
