S1E5: Drafting (an big ole overview)
If you're not sure what the difference between short backward and short forward is, or what it means to have twist or no twist between your hands, this episode will help! If from the fold, point-of-contact longdraw and supported longdraw have you a bit confused or if double-draft and unsupported longdraw feel beyond you, this episode is a great place to start! Jacey does an overview of each draft to get you ready to go forward (and so you don't have to wait too long without at least an introduction to these drafts).
