Mini Episode No. 34 - Alternative Terms to Straight Man

from There It Is Podcast · host Jason Farr

In this mini episode, Jason talks about the outdate term "straight man" in common. Many have offered the alternative "Voice of Reason" but Jason discusses why this term, while sometimes accurate, isn't always the most fitting. Jason offers "the grounding force" or "tone-setter" as a stronger alternative to "straight man" and he discusses why, giving examples, and how the logic can be used.
