Have you been watching William Spaniel's new lecture series too?
Not a lecture series, but I will admit to watching pretty much every video he has on YT. Where is the lecture series published?
Oh! He just started doing it on Lines on Maps Extra. https://www.youtube.com/@LinesonMapsExtra
Three episodes so far. I think it's basically his undergrad course in youtube form. Pretty good so far!
