I’m not sure exactly where to post this. I have been a Twit listener from the very first episode. After listening to the last couple episodes of Intelligent Machines, have to say that it is obvious that Leo doesn’t respect Paris’ opinion. During discussions that are definitely subjective, he rudely shuts her down with “You’re wrong!”. Not - I disagree or That hasn’t been my experience. He doesn’t speak any other Host or guest that way. I don’t know if it’s how he perceives her age, but I enjoy the young perspective and her ability to see things from a different angle. Bottom line if he doesn’t respect her opinion, then he shouldn’t have her on the show. He is coming off as a rude know it all and that isn’t a good look.
