Kim says
After this most incredible, moving, and deep episode, you end her beautiful last speaking point by saying “well, you look lovely “. Bam. End of interview? I’ve now listened to more than 2 dozen Wolf podcasts, and became a patron. I was so surprised to hear that ending from you, after being used to the COPIOUS thanks and acknowledgements most guests receive as an interview gets wound up. Perhaps something happened, a circumstance arose during recording. But to me as listener, it sounded like a MOST graceless, rude, and condescending ending to an interview, especially from you guys!!!!! I’m shocked. I’ll be canceling my membership. “Well, you look lovely”. Did I even hear that right???
Eric Zimmer says
Hi Kim…Yes we had numerous connection issues with her and had a lot of editing challenges. Perhaps a more abrupt ending than expected. It’s been quite some time since I recorded it but I was trying to convey that for her age she looks great and is very sharp. I’m not sure quite what happened but yes out of character for us but not intended in any way to be condescending and likely was part of a broader statement that our connection issues truncated. Sorry for any offense…Eric
