  • Great Hosts!

    My favorite part of this show is the dynamic between the hosts. Joe, Chris, and Kathryn are hilarious and entertaining, especially when they’re giving Joe a hard time about talking about work during the ‘small talk’ segment. Such a fun show!

  • Disappointed

    The title of this podcast is very misleading. The episode I listened to was nothing but Democratic politics. The hosts are not lawyers. They don’t appear to have common sense. I’m certainly not up for a podcast where I keep hearing well I think, it could be, but if they did this. No thanks!
