A science 'grants researcher' as an interviewer on a legal podcast??

Not sure why the NB Network has science/medical 'grant researchers' with a pointed conservative agenda doing legal/law interviews. There are a lot of JDs out there more qualified to parse legal & religious books. Not impressive.

Great books, and Jane Richards is a professional and insightful interviewer.
