Thanks for the honest feedback. One of my goals in making those videos, was to force guests to spell everything out, for the sake of making complex topics more accessible to a novice audience. Conversely, I understand how that may make the video less enjoyable to more “advanced” viewers. (Or maybe I'm just a plain annoying person.) That being said, my original plan for the MapReduce vid was to stay out of the shot and not say a word; but Mike actually asked me to help him structure it out as we went along, so… Yeah, as usual, finding the right balance is tricky. But thanks for the note, maybe I'll try to keep more distance in future tapings. EDIT / TL;DR I always had the nagging feeling that, while I may be the right people to produce the Tapes, I most certainly was the wrong person to host them. The shame is, nobody else was available :p
