It's not short, but I was introduced to the concept in a video series on FLOSS Linux audio tools: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdPPPeq82hw&list=PLf_MTToSAx...

Specifically, you can play with it yourself with a tool like ZynAddSubFX's (https://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.io/) virtual keyboard, where you can enable microtonal under scale settings and tweak to whatever tuning you want (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdPPPeq82hw&t=669s for where the video above starts showing this).

A simpler and shorter video discussing the history of just intonation and equal temperament, with examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCYcS57eCqs
