Thank you both for getting out there and doing this interview. I look forward to listening in!
Except I still listen to CDs, and don't even have Spotify.
I will think very seriously about getting it.

Now that this channel is on youtube I was able to visit.
I watched two of the episodes.
If it is alright, I would like to leave a little bit of feedback. First, it is wonderful to see familiar faces like Steven Smith and Dr. Michael Clarage. Thank you so much for catching up with Steven Smith especially, because we haven't seen him since 2021 and he looks great and in good health.
Second, I appreciate both "Sparks" and Finn for their particular gifts and talents which they bring to the Electric Universe. That is, hands on experimentation, and a "We'll leave the light on for you" presenting style on the Thunderbolts videos.
Third, as a viewer, you may find it helpful to know that the expectation when you click on the episodes are not at all what you find. That is, the videos I watched appeared to be interviews, and more than that, they appeared to be interviews exploring the Electric Universe Cosmology.
They are not interviews. They are very informal conversations with a lot of memes. The banter covers a whole lot of internet theories, but there was very little that you could really say was actually exploring the published Electric Universe model. The memes are dominant, and for the most part tolerably humorous. They take up most of the time in a 2-hour video. When the trifling jokes fail, they fail utterly. The image of Wal Thornhill with a knife was neither funny nor worthwhile nor appreciated. The thumbnails are loud and for some demographics, like me, Gen X, a little incomprehensible. For some viewers, these videos are like being at a table where nearly everything is an inside joke between the participants.
This is their own channel, and it's a free country. People come to the Electric Universe from all walks of life. I thought it might help to offer a few comments, and mainly I would like to say that these are not interviews, and they are not really centered on the Electric Universe. Thanks for the link and all the best.

It's a riot! XD Really funny. It's just the best of all worlds when they focus a
little bit here and there.
