I’ve been listening for over a decade and it’s never repetitive because grammar is complicated. But Mignon distills the info fabulously! I also appreciate the shortness of it. Sometimes I need a quick word nerd fix and this is perfect!
The new interview series is great for longer listens…even if it does put more books on my ever-growing to read list!
