Scott Mendelson is officially a pundit.


This is a phone interview that I conducted with Jesse Wente of Canada's Q Radio. It's my first real interview, so there are plenty of first-timer hiccups. First of all, it was conducted at 6:30am while I had sniffles-related laryngitis. Second of all, I allowed the conversation to get sidetracked and ended up basically failing to discuss the issue at hand (my article stating that male film characters aren't expected to be role models). So while there is much room for improvement should I be welcomed back, I enjoyed it more while I was listening to it than when I recorded it. I've embedded it here for your enjoyment (if the embed stops working, here is an archived version). By the way, I meant 'more reluctant' at 9:16, not 'less reluctant'. Be gentle, it's my first time.

  1. That was a nice listen Scott. I enjoyed your article on this subject a lot and I'm glad you got a chance to share it with a larger audience. Now if only we can get you on Fox News to be a counterpoint to a sometimes interesting but mostly mind numbing Michael Medved!

  2. I thought this was a very interesting discussion-- I appreciate your feminist point of view. And you're being too self-conscious; I never would have known it was your first!
