Great episode!

It's the first time I've come across your channel! It would be interesting to add subtitles to the videos to reach an even wider audience, because as a French person I find the dialogue in this video rather fast. It would also be a good idea to divide the video into different chapters so that you can go straight to the subjects that interest you. But it's a very interesting video!
