I noticed that there is confusion between Paul and Paula. The narrator refers to Paula while the speaker is clearly male (Paul).
@James, we fixed this in the transcripts a long time ago but the audio is harder to fix. We’ll probably redo the 126-127 debriefs at some point, but for now it’s a minor distraction.
