How to understand The Magnus Archives-

(Im on EP 12 so no spoil) I love TMA a lot so far but it SOOO HARD to keep track of characters and stuff . I'm not the best at audio processing, i forget stuff like a minute after. I know I should probably be writing stuff down but I listen to the podcast on like trains and stuff. But other than that, I love it so far, I just need to start actually keeping track of stuff cuz im already hearing repeating names.
