A report from WBUR details the invasive nature of the vice presidential vetting process, likened by some to a colonoscopy. Retired Admiral James Stavridis describes being grilled about teenage romances and providing two feet of documentation, including dental and medical records, during his 2016 vetting by the Clinton campaign. The discussion questions how consultants manage such a treasure trove of opposition research.

### LeVar Burton NPR Interview, "Keep Your Heads Up"

- **Published:** 2020-07-30

An NPR interview featuring LeVar Burton is mocked for its "pensive" and "fawning" tone. Burton's advice to "keep our heads up" to see the "horizon which beckons" is parodied with sound effects and a "King of the Hill" mashup. The segment highlights the perceived pretentiousness of public radio interviews and the "auteur" persona adopted by former Star Trek actors.

The WBUR podcast "Circle Round" was noted for its heavy emphasis on Chinese folktales and adaptations. Critics argue that the selection of stories reflects a broader trend of Chinese cultural influence in American public media, often at the expense of Western or European traditions.

An episode of the popular children's podcast "What If World" appeared to contain a highly inappropriate phonetic glitch during a story about "squid slime." The hosts analyzed the audio to determine if the suggestive phrasing was intentional or a result of unfortunate voice acting and editing.
