I'm going to be going through each show (ideally) and taking copious notes, as college has taught me.  The first show was a bit rough due to divided time between audio editing and note taking.   
 
This is a fluid list.  Beta as it's likely to be known.  Things are going to be dynamic, pertaining to formatting and such, until I get a feel for how things turn out.     
If you see any mistakes/have a subsection idea or something along those lines, let me know!!  This list is not just for me!
