Download a PDF from Mehlman's Free Stuff page (it asks for name, email and phone first; the HY Arrows is also in the USMLE Vault University under Files), upload it to Gemini Notebook (Google's free tool, formerly NotebookLM, at notebook.google.com), click Audio Overview with the Deep Dive format, and listen to a 2-host podcast built from the PDF. Listen first, then run the PDF actively. It does not replace the Mehlman videos, which stay a fixed step in every system.
