"I honestly don’t get why people think a podcast has to fit a certain type of person, it’s a platform for any personality. If someone chooses to embarrass themselves during an interview, that’s on them, not the host. She simply did her job. If she hadn’t posted it, you wouldn’t even know the kind of person he is."
