  • Podcaster’s Reading Pattern

    Delong could benefit from voice coaching. Not everyone should podcast. The reading vocal pattern Delong uses is jarring. The emphatic stresses of words that don’t need stress draws attention away from the subject matter. There is no flow to her read. The subject matter is intriguing and if she writes the scripts, bravo; but someone else should do the readings.

  • Luigi Mangione

    Both Luigi Mangione and Ted Bundy illustrate the "halo effect," where their attractiveness and charm lead the public to overlook their violent actions, often romanticizing them instead. This phenomenon is amplified by social media, which can create a cult-like following around such individuals, blurring the lines between celebrity and criminality.
