they're really short comparitively, although a few I have to listen to multiple times if I try to do anythi g besides color while I'm listening.

Like they explain the TED spread in one and then the next time it comes up they have a nice summation. I really like it and kind if want more in depth stuff but still with the same learning curve. The rewind button is my friend above all if I get lost.
