Ah yes I watched that last night. I thought that there might be a podcast also.
There is! You can find links on the website, but it's more buried than I thought. Here is the Apple link: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-great-simplification-with-nate-hagens/id1604218333
You can also just search for the Great Simplification on whatever podcast app you like to use.
