You might like to add the following very useful reference by Iben (1985) that explains much of what is in the podcast and what is referenced here. Although fairly old, it does explain a bit more of the evolution of solar-like stars. Figure 19 "Nature of Compact Remnants" on the types of white dwarfs by composition is particularly useful. The reference is; Iben, I. Jr., “Life and Times of an Intermediate Mass Stars- in Isolation/in a Close Binary.” QJRAS 26, 1-39 (1985) (After hearing this podcast, much of this can be read with only moderate knowledge of astronomy.) It is currently available through the ADS. I.e. <a>Iben, I.
