Quick note: Pam approached me after our interview. She was concerned that when she said, “I deal with the Shit…” that listeners might think she was talking about her clients. I assured her that it was very clear the “shit” she mentioned was INJUSTICE, but told her I’d make a note of it, just in case. What a heart she has, right?
