This is really nice, and a consequence of my job that I never anticipated. But I've been getting loads of DMs from RE teachers asking where to find a library of my videos to send their students as they learn remotely. I don't have one! So here's a thread instead:

if there's any other way I can help out with your RE lessons, please feel free to DM!
