- Because of Youtube’s censorship policies, lessons 43-48 cannot be hosted on Youtube. You may be able to stream or play the same files from Google Drive. However, because such files can be enormous, only the unprocessed files are available, and you will need to scroll past the initial informalities to get to the actual lesson material. –Mr. Powell
