Hello everyone, this is a partial preview of a premium episode of Blocked and reported.

0:04.6

If you would like to hear the whole thing, go to blockandreported.org where for a very affordable rate,

0:10.1

best value in media, I'd say, though I am biased. You can get access to this and three premium

0:16.3

episodes each and every month. Either way, I hope you enjoy the preview. What are we talking about

0:20.7

today? We are talking about the new Liz Holmes. Liz, not Elizabeth Liz Holmes. She's reinventing

0:27.6

herself because a pathetic, awful New York Times journalist is allowing her to do that. It's

0:34.1

disgraceful. We could not be more mad. No, we're absolutely livid about this. You want to sum up

0:39.5

the story? Yes, the New York Times magazine Liz Holmes wants you to forget about Elizabeth, subhead.

1:26.3

everyone that her company Theranos had come up with a revolutionary blood testing technology because

1:32.0

she was young and blonde and pretty and did this weird little voice. Katie, can you do the

1:36.6

voice or should we drop in my clip? I'm Elizabeth Holmes. Yeah, it was this where people, everybody knows

1:41.6

what the voice is now. It was very guttural. Is that the word? Maybe not. She just dropped her

1:46.7

natural speaking voice like 12 octaves. I'm not sure it's really caught. It's a sweet generis,
