I don’t always agree with Sarah or David, but I often do, and they have both been vital to forming my ability to think critically. Their show finds a great balance between the theoretical and the practical, the first-principles stuff and the in-the-news stuff. I like that they can be both smart and technical as well as humane and down to earth.
…a great niece on PBS’ “Breaking the Deadlock” show!
I have to google meanings of certain words or phrases but learn SO much from this podcast!
Please get Prof Amar to educate you guys on the UET anytime Sarah talks about it makes my eyes roll and I’m worried they might get stuck like that
The show is imbalanced in a way that has little to do with liberal/conservative. French is a fair-minded conservative who’s willing to call balls and strikes on both sides; Isgur cannot do anything but argue in favor of the Federalist Society, whatever it’s up to. Even The Dispatch’s own paid members continually call her out! I need a fair-minded conservative legal podcast, but this ain’t it while Isgur’s around.
