I was interviewed by the New York Times for a Kavanaugh-related video story on the origin of the phrase "What happens in X stays in X."  I have a very brief speaking appearance near the beginning of the clip.  (The Kavanaugh connection to the phrase is that the judge uses it a lot, as in "What happens in Georgetown Prep stays in Georgetown Prep" or "What happens on the bus [returning to Yale Law School after bar-hopping in Boston] stays on the bus" or "What happens at the Federalist Society after-party stays in the Federalist Society after-party.")
