The audio levels aren't as level as they would normally be as this is the audio only version of the YouTube livestream.
It is a very visual episode, so you may want to just watch the YouTube version which is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TClH-Wdsen0
I have also included a PDF as a public Patreon post so that you can view the images discussed without watching the YouTube video. https://www.patreon.com/posts/51886854
