This is a long episode, but it captures the four main groups discussed in the reading, and it provides some inroads you can use to further explore those groups. As I noted at the end, this podcast is by necessity brief, and I wish I could speak for an hour about each of the ones I cover. Since I tried to keep it short, use what I shared as a springboard to read and learn more.
For anyone who is interested, here is some additional information:
