I have to say I think you could really really lose the soundboard. I like the podcast but that thing is grating

I’ve been tuning into this podcast since my law school days. As a lawyer in California, I also listen to other legal podcasts, but they usually get pretty dry & become background noise.

I’m not a lawyer and I’m not involved in the legal profession at all but Above the Law: Thinking Like a Lawyer has become one of my favorite listens.

I’ve learned about the Bar, clerkships, bonuses, law firm culture, and the realities of the profession in a way that’s engaging, accessible, and often ve... more

I enjoy the podcast but find myself constantly turning it off when they vier hard into the politics. For legal experts, it’s interesting for them to throw tantrums when the legal system does work just not in their political interests. You guys should stick to law, not going on anti-Trump tirades
