Technical analysis of Elizabeth Banks' media appearance revealed she was using a Rode shotgun mic incorrectly, likely relying on her laptop's internal microphone instead. Despite the professional-looking setup with a foam windscreen and spit filter, the resulting audio sounded "like she was in a bucket." This serves as an example of high-profile celebrities entering the podcasting space without basic technical proficiency.

### Cockpit Security, Modified Shotguns and Secondary Barriers

- **Episode:** [729: About Face!](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/729-about-face.md)
- **Published:** 2015-06-11
- **Time:** 24:19–28:27
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/729-about-face/chapter/cockpit-security-modified-shotguns-and-secondary-barriers.md

Security experts suggest that modified shotguns and secondary wire barriers are more effective for cockpit defense than the current system of armed pilots. While some pilots carry 40-caliber pistols, they are often prohibited on international flights due to local handgun laws. A simple system of horizontal cables could provide flight crews with the necessary time to secure the flight deck during an attempted breach.

The shooter, identified as Karl Pierson, was initially described by the Denver Post as a "very opinionated socialist," a descriptor later removed from reports. The hosts discuss Pierson's Facebook posts criticizing the Republican Party and the difficulty of committing suicide with a full-stock shotgun. They suggest the media is steering the narrative away from the shooter's political leanings.

The hosts critique the released surveillance video of the Washington Navy Yard shooter, Aaron Alexis.

The discussion covers the media's attempt to link the Navy Yard shooting to violent video games like Call of Duty and Black Ops.
