I’ve appreciably gotten used to a certain level of professionalism among the hosts and commenters. Ms. Klonick’s repeated use of “like” and squeals and over-the-top emotional outbursts ain’t that. Could you tone it down a bit? My ears hurt…
So at least one of you thinks it’s just fine for a masked plainclothes person to snatch anyone they want off the street and do who knows what to that person because nobody knows who or what the snatcher is.
For lawyers, by lawyers. Good stuff.
I’d like Ben to leave his women issues out of the podcast. He makes a point of “joking” that one episode was all men — “And NO women!” he repeated. We get it: you had a domestic spat and so now we all need to hear about it. I’ve also found it strange that Ben should regularly (and uncomfortably) flirt with a female reporter during episodes. Ew. Just stick to the facts and legal cases, please. That’s why we listen.
Any chance someone could voice-coach Chris Mirasola to break his “Right?” habit? (That’s saying “Right?” every other sentence.) This verbal tic is getting more and more common these days and, while it might be an overcompensation for momentary insecurity, I find the habit super annoying (enough to fast-forward through a speaker’s comments). In the case of this panelist, voice coaching might also help his general delivery, which can be a bit hard to follow.
