Hii!! I thought I had commented on this one but I must have forgotten. Is it me, or it was a bit awkward that, after the guest mentioned the lack of diversity on the show, neither Rachel nor Melinda approved (or at the very least, mumbled "mmmmmh" or something like that). Maybe it sounded worse than it was because I listen to my podcasts at 1.5x the speed, but it was a bit uncomfortable to me to hear the guest mention the lack of diversity, and then have Rachel immediately change topics. And I don’t think they personally need to feel bad about it, since they were cast members and did not have any power/discretion over casting decisions!
Yes, I do think it was awkward. When you watch the video version, you can tell there are a lot of cuts and editing and that's why it sometimes seems like they suddenly jumped from this to that. So for all we know, Rachel and Melinda did say something on that topic... and they decided to cut it out for some reason. Or they didn't comment on it at all.
