    I am acquiring knowledge on ‘legal issues’, through this podcast, that I had previously never given much thought to.

    Lawyers provide their insight on numerous topics.

    The podcast is well structured.

    “Beneath the Law” discussions from a legal landscape are interesting and informative.

    Fantastic podcast!!! And a very important one! AI is a great tool, I use ChatGPT often, but you can’t trust it/rely on it entirely. AI in wrong hands can lead to create fiction to alter the reality like in this case. So by the way, I think somehow it should be regulated.
