Great interview. The BTS footage and stills enabled me to properly visualize the conditions described.
(I had one title that didn't hold it's position in the initial uploaded episode, so I fixed it and wanted to keep the one comment the video had received!)
Interesting discussion,
Thank you for putting this panel together
Sensational title
