The latest GWAE podcast (The Doc part 2) can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1HCQPpspXA

The Doc is a part-time and long-time player who is an academic surgeon in real life. I suggest listening to the whole thing, but outstanding advice for new counters starts at about 14:25, talking about count selection, index plays, BR management, cover, etc.
