PLONK is a recent highly efficient, universal SNARK construction. We explore what distinguishes Plonk from some other other new constructions including their focus on  Lagrange-bases to deconstruct complex problem statements into simple polynomial identities. \r\n\n\nThis episode goes very deep and so we do recommend you check out a few of previous episodes to help you follow along!
