Using as a course supplement

I’m taking an online research methods class, and she doesn’t actually teach, she just assigns textbook chapters to read, but I need a little more help and explanation. This podcast was exactly what I needed. Plus the production value is good, there’s no background noise or fluctuations in volume. Nicely done.
