This episode immediately launches into a the nitty gritty on running stuff and doesn't have any contextual intro to Python or programming languages. Particularly no context on how python differs from things they may have encountered before, such as SQL or excel formulas.

Also, the code vs text section could use a brief statement of the mission behind Jupyter notebooks for more context behind why you might want to have formatted text and code in the same document. "Jupyter Notebooks are commonly used to capture both narrative and code for analysis projects. This process can be used for similar purposes in the classroom. You are free to capture your notes and other narrative along with your executable code." Then launch into the nitty gritty on the code versus text cells.

That's coming. I'm working on an intro episode to come before ep 1. Hope to do a PR some time this week.
