This podcast is one of my favorites for learning about the laws and judicial system. Josh discusses the facts and does not resort to being one-sided or talking negatively about others. In addition, the chat is the best because of the moderators. It's free of inappropriate comments and and very respectful. I highly recommend this podcast.
I’m so over everyone just painting her as guilty, you guys really need to learn how to present information
Timely coverage of ongoing cases. The host says he spent his first 10 years of his career as a prosecutor before going into private practice as a defense attorney. It seems like he’s doing more. Podcast than defense, he definitely has prosecution take on everything, maybe changed practice but still has a heart of a prosecutor —which is fine, but he presents himself as looking at everything from both sides and that’s not really accurate. His personal bias is prevalent in his commentary.
I just started listening to Josh this past week and I have to say, I’ve dug in and listened to Clancy episodes that were so good I went back to older ones! Josh and the guests he brings on are fantastic. I sincerely appreciate his point of view and explanation on everything. He also has a fantastic and soothing voice so, great to actually hear/listen to as well! 💁🏻♀️😎
Josh Ritter and his entire team provides an excellent mostly unbiased podcast of current true crime stories. He occasionally throws some snarky shade in there I am assuming to prove he isn’t AI. In any case, his coverage is excellent and if he himself doesn’t understand an issue, he phones a friend to get their perspective. I find it refreshing that he covers true crime without becoming political. Thank you Josh and team for your coverage.

A weekly true-crime/legal analysis show that blends battlefield-style courtroom breakdowns with accessible explanations of legal procedures. Listeners get up-to-date coverage of high-profile cases, often through interviews with on-the-ground reporters, former prosecutors, defense attorneys, and media analysts. The host weaves in practical insights on trial strategy, evidentiary issues, and the interplay between media coverage and courtroom dynamics, with regular Q&As and live-style episodes that unpack how justice is pursued across jurisdictions. A standout is its dual perspective from someone who has operated on both sides of the courtroom, plus a strong community component that invites listener questions and engagement.
