Usually in that setting...the best you’re gonna get is the staff handing out index cards to the audience....to pose a question. Then they ‘select’ the questions they’re going to answer from the dais. Nobody passes around a hot mic anymore....it gives up control of the narrative. Although I like and respect the developer....I liken his approach to that of Ronald Reagan’s 1980 debate comment “I am paying for this microphone!”
