Hello this is Sara, I’m eager to listen your podcasts although none of them play to me. I don’t know what’s the problem. I’ll be so glad if you have any suggestions. Thanks
"CMOS" is actually a tech / computing term . . .
Astonishing podcast and this one especially. The amount of first sentences analyzing them and then talking about the word gladiator and the related words is extraordinary. Thank you, for the time allocated to produce this beautiful episode of your great podcast.
