Are we not allowed to talk about her good looks?

She's a great reporter, looks aside. Who cares that she's good looking. I also think Christiane Amanpour is an awesome CNN correspondent. She's.... not as good looking as Kristin Hallett. Yes, men are capable of respecting women for their professional talents.

She can't be great at her job and good looking? Not like anyone is saying that's the only reason she gets camera time, because that just wouldn't be true. She's great

I don't think Leslie is anything special. Should remain in the "Gill Tucker" role of broadcasts side stories.

Is there a way to subscribe/download these as proper podcasts? Soundcloud isn't ideal for in the car or on planes, for example.

To be fair part of being a woman on TV is being good looking. There are pretty much no female sports reporters who aren't attractive. Whether they are sideline reporters, hosts etc.

And in 99% of the cases they answer to men. Andi Petrillo is not asked to provide insight. She sets up the questions then hands off to the men. As do the sideline reporters, they just lay out the facts and let the real experts talk about how that will affect the teams/game.

It is unfortunate but it is the reality of women on tv.

No you just sound like a Negative Nancy, just like in every single other thread you wander into.

Nancy is not good looking. She's downright ugly!
