Absolutely they can, in traditional publishing media.  Over the Internet, in
the US, given Section 230 of the CDA...  Well, I'm not going to give out
legal advice, but I personally would be willing to fight that fight.

So, basically, bad excuse.  Give me the audio, and I'll publish it.  Or give
it to the Internet Review Corporation, and we'll publish it on Akahele.  Or
if the only potentially slanderous content is that of Kohs, give it to Kohs,
and he'll publish it.
