These are terrific, I can listen in the car or cooking or comforting a foster dog in my lap. All good HCR and thank you, it's great to hear your strong, clear reasoned speech.

Repetition is the basis for learning. I slept through history, as a kid, so I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.

I start by reading and listening simultaneously to the first time the letter appears in the morning. Then I listen again when HCR’s recording comes out later in the day. It helps to cement things together for me.

Very thoughtful and so true. She must be so exhausted by now.

I don't understand why he good professor wants to present things orally, rather than in writing.

I think she's doing it for the benefit of those who are not able to see very well. I enjoy listening but I hope she's not unnecessarily exhausting herself. I am just as happy reading- It's nice not to have to focus on a screen, but not at the expense of Professor Richardson's time.

These are all available in writing as well as orally, so we have options for how we want to access it. I really appreciate the oral option, and it's not keeping anyone from reading the written version if they prefer that. I sometimes do one, and sometimes the other, depending on what works best for me that day.

I have enjoyed reading Heather's letters for the past several years, however my eyesight is failing, and it has become a struggle.

Having the option to listen to them has been so helpful. I'm sure there are others in my situation.
