Is it possible to download Patreon podcasts so I can play them while driving?
Absolutely, you can find some instructions here: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041347732-How-to-use-your-audio-RSS
Thank you so much for the extended video! I can rarely find enough time to watch the whole livestream recording, and this is a game changer! W.r.t. the shape of the Universe, there is actually only a finite number of topologies of flat spaces, since a cube, for example, is topologically the same as a ball (yes, it's absolutely true that a topologist cannot tell the coffee cup from the doughnut). There are two very good explainer videos about this, by Up And Atom (https://youtu.be/xqDmTBa3nr4) and Cool Worlds (https://youtu.be/pn3euL8Tbfw).
