I hoped not to do this bc I sincerely appreciated that you agreed to be a guest on @BadFaithPod. However:

1) It was not a convo abt deradicalization -- a term you introduced after I asked a question about how your reporting affected your view on coalition building on the left.

2) I offered you a chance to talk about whatever you thought the main take aways of the book were. I asked germane follow up questions.

3) We agreed to record the podcast at 1pm on Friday. You kept my producer and I waiting an hour and then showed up in a car on your phone.

You ignored the detailed technical instructions and were not in a position to conduct a quality, professional recording. I said nothing about this, but simply offered to reschedule at a time that was better or you. We agreed to Sunday. That left no time to record a back up.

You didn't ask me not to publish it. You told me you weren't going to provide your audio -- perhaps assuming that we couldn't publish without it. But we had the zoom recording. I offered you an opportunity to come back and record a coda after you walked off the interview.

I sincerely wanted you to have a chance to finish the conversation on a better note. You declined to take me up on that offer.

4) The podcast speaks for itself. I wish you nothing but the best.

I won't stoop so low as to reveal our private correspondence, but I will note that she omitted the end of my remarks to her. I meant what I said. I have genuinely positive feelings about Talia and will continue to manifest that positivity in the public sphere.
