Interviewer not appropriate for subject matter

“How could an interviewer for Catholic Books have no knowledge about nuns? She said as much when she asked Ms. Osberger how it was to live with nuns, you could tell she was envisioning nuns as a type of cloistered separated group, nuns of yesteryear, she was not conversant with social activist nuns at all. Also, and more importantly to to laugh about terrible statistics for instance when Ms. Osberger related the torture of a man by the secret police in Chile during the dictator’s time, bearing 100 or so burn and whip marks on his body, the Interviewer in response to the author’s comment that this info was hidden from the general populace laughed and commented to the effect of, “Oh yeah, like dictators don’t torture people.” The lightness and gaiety of her tone was totally inappropriate, an affront to the people tortured and the people who really care about them. I listened a bit longer and again the light tone was evident. I had to stop listening. I’m curious how the Catholic Studies podcast venue vets interviewers- no disrespect but this was an unpleasant, disturbing listen for me. This was not an interview about textiles or foods on Catholic feast days for example, the subject is horrific human torture. No good Catholic Studies podcast!”
