It's a well-rounded podcast that covers various aspects of simplification and organization.

    As for drawbacks, one minor issue some listeners may have is the difficulty in rating podcasts or finding show notes for certain episodes. This could potentially be improved by providing clearer instructions or links on where to access these materials.
