Indeed. It is not stupid at all that NA links "basic" Wikipedia articles in its shownotes. Back in around 2010 only two (I knew five German podcasts) did link regularly to stuff. I learned a lot. Not accurate stuff, but the general idea, who or what it is. What is basic for me might be new to you. These days our journalists still dont link. Many smaller sites are like a silo. That is NOT interesting. I gave up writing them mails a decade ago.

But this may be another reason why ppl are so dumb.
