'mouth of broadcaster' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'looks presenter in the eye for putting words' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'for' could be 'pro' (I've seen this before) and 'pro' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
