Can’t recommend it enough
Genuine experts in their field talking about stuff they know REALLY well in a way which is interesting and accessible to non-experts. And speaking frankly and openly about sensitive and important issues in a way we don’t often hear.
Warm and passionate presenter and guest.
Essential listening for people interested in the law behind the conflict in Gaza. I would give it 10 stars if I could.
Really interesting and explained in a way that’s so easily understood.
As someone with an LLM looking for opportunities in the international legal space it’s also great to hear from academics on how they got started.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
