I was thinking that I would like more basic genetics stuff. For example, a convergent evolution explainer. How cool is that as a concept? And yet I probably don't understand it well.
I really enjoyed the podcast with Alex Palazzo, and how well he explained the whole neutral drift idea. I'd had the basic notion in my head before, but the whole thing about it creating room for variation that can then be acted on by selection was very eye-opening for me, as an amateur with no formal background in any of this stuff.
"petty technical detail: I need to be able to download the MP3 file before I can listen to your podcasts (due to the obsolete technology in my old Dodge pickup), so I patiently wait for the ungated versions."
It can be done, if you have a browser that can parse the xml created by the substack system. Pale Moon can do it.
Chromium on a Raspberry Pi, so the details are different, but you pointed me in the right direction.

I thought I was the only Indian (Hindu). Now I don't feel special
Books, what else?
I follow this very closely.
Alas there are none!

In the player box on the substack page e.g.: https://razib.substack.com/p/judge-glock-its-still-morning-in
Go to the box "Listen On" click the down arrow it will scroll down a box that is labeled Substack App click on "Copy Link"
Paste the link you copied into the browser address bar and go.
The page will list the podcast and in a box labeled media files it will show a link like:
cee1ce3b1bcbacaffc1e81708c52afc9.mp3
right click on the link and click on "Save Link As"
Thanks, that worked!
Great. May I ask what browser you were using?
Don't think my response was recorded looking through the Google docs you posted. Oh well 😑
i removed the open-form responses since there was identifying information there
