I couldn't find anything on this at TCG but wanted to ask whether any of you had heard anything about it? I think I came across it when it was published in 2019 but it did not really make any splash?

This is nothing new in publishing - with the digital revolution, Amazon, and other vested interests involved people who used to happily and without too many problems publish books now have to find ways in interesting buyers and getting past the monopolies controlling large parts of the market.

New formats have been tried again and again - and the "60 Minute" thing seems to stem from the illusion people would be happy to spend an hour on any given topic AND buy a book

Germany did this in 2013, that's why I was interested in this edition. [The German wasn't too bad, iirc, but not really worth the trouble.]
