Review of August 18 episode only
I’m a long time Lawfare supporter and member. Over the past five years, I have listened to 90–95% of Lawfare’s podcasts, and I always add them to my feed as “play next“ as soon as they appear. In other words, I’m a big fan. However, I couldn’t make myself finish listening to the August 18 episode featuring Molly Reynolds. Ms. Reynolds is extremely knowledgeable on the issue of congressional oversight of the executive branch, and I found the information she gave us to be very interesting. Unfortunately, Ms Reynolds has the distracting habit of ending her sentences with an upward inflection … so they sound like questions (or *very uncertain* pronouncements) rather than statements of a confident, experienced expert). It drove me crazy, to the point where I turned off the episode about halfway through. I just could not spend another minute listening to her. That’s never happened before with Lawfare. Ms. Reynolds either needs to develop some self-confidence, or she needs to practice her method of speaking so that she doesn’t sound so uncertain about the information she is conveying. I am a female attorney who has been practicing for several decades, and I had to make a conscious effort to practice my speaking style (in court, with clients, and in my personal life) so that my statements did not come across as those of a nervous, insecure child. Lawfare and Ms. Reynolds can both do better.
