Ugh, do we really need to hear these idiots nattering on about their dreams before every video?

It's the internet version of those subscription things that always dropped out of the paper magazine. It wouldn't be a magazine if it wasn't in someway annoying to it's readers/viewers.

Excellent.

And they only natter on in the videos where the nattering was already included. Some are silent, some are pitches.

Breaking Waves was beautiful. Science and art play so well together.
