When an academic wearing a mortar board uses vulgar language, it is no different than when a gang-banger wearing a wife beater uses vulgar language.

Yeah, I was slightly put off by that too. Some people (like me) have kids around, and some would presumably like to have their kids listen to these podcasts. Throwing a 'fuck' in there like that sort of limits the potential audience.

But to be fair, I think that this is the only time I've ever heard JM do so. So it only stuck out for that reason. Other podcasters whom I listen to are faaar worse.
