I've listened the hell out of the first part and been very much hoping there'd be a part 2 so I'm delighted about this! Hearing him talk is like hearing him play guitar - I can listen to both forever

But 'endogenous growth theory' is jargon that the vast majority of people don't understand. Thatcher, in the example above, uses pretty straightforward language.

Religion generally was very prominent at Liverpool under Klopp. Alisson even baptised Firmino! Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, Salah and Mané were all very outspoken about their faith. And there was Klopp too, of course

So much great journalism is this. Pauline Kael never made a film, Lester Bangs never picked up a guitar. It's just endless enthusiasm.

Me too - it opened doors I didn't know existed
