It's an unadulterated pleasure to hear (and watch) you speak. You're one of the very few people whose ability to speak matches their ability to write. Clear, concise and to the point.

Thank you! That's very kind. I have far less confidence with speaking than writing, so I really appreciate that.

Very good to both and Miri nailed it where we're watching actors, once understood we stop referencing them in terms of their own agency or incentives in the same way we do Thanos or Captain America being anything more than characters in a script.

I admire your patience, Miri. The more I hear you explaining the same point (in this case that they’re ALL actors), the more it sinks into my consciousness so that I can then explain it to others. Thank you, that helps me a lot, as I learn best by repetition.

Because you’ve gone over this so many times, I admire that you never lose patience, become frustrated or condescending, no matter who your interlocutor is…..total respect and gratitude to you!

Thank you, Catherine! I really appreciate that feedback. Not sure that it's true I never lose my patience (ask Mr. AF..!), but thank you all the same.

Thank you both for a very informative, entertaining and enjoyable podcast. It was well worth foregoing whatever Netflix or the like could have offered instead. Miri 'n' Jeffrey sounds like a great new entrant on the entertainment double act block!

Thank you Cheryl, I don't actually think I have written about it, but here's an article from a UK newspaper for more info https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2183858/All-presidents-bar-directly-descended-medieval-English-king.html
