I kept running into questions that needed real research to answer, and never finding the time to read the papers properly.

So this is how I do the reading. Two hosts take one question at a time and argue it out: what the research actually found, what it doesn't support, and what everyone is about to claim it says. Hana has done the thing. Gus has read the research. They disagree properly — and I remember far more from listening to them fight than from reading it on my own.

Hana and Gus are synthetic voices. That isn't a disclosure, it's the method: I built two people to argue so the material would stick.

Most of what comes out of this is only useful to me. What gets published is the part I think might be useful to you.
