  • Comment: I included both hooks for a second opinion, but my inclination is that ALT0 is stronger. If you want to verify directly from the podcast episode, the revelation begins around 36:30.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article is solid and well-sourced, although I have some doubts about the verifiability of the entire list of episodes. I believe it would be beneficial to include a source, at least a primary one. Spotchecked sources 3 and 8 and found no issues. I agree that ALT0 is the more interesting hook and I am approving it. Earwig shows no copyvio. QPQ done. Good to go! —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 18:18, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
