memes

My enjoyment and understanding of any podcast/audio book like this would be greatly enhanced by a relationship web of all the different players--if you wanted to be fancy, you could make one master web and then generate incremental ones for each episode as different entities and relationships are introduced so it's not so overwhelming. Keeping track of that many names is difficult but doable when you read them, since you internalize them better and can also quickly and precisely flip back a few pages for a refresher; aurally, it's nigh impossible, at least for me, and especially when so many are in languages I don't speak.
