I have a crush on IJ as an organization. I love these Beyond the Brief episodes because I get to hear from different IJ lawyers fighting for justice for regular people. I’ve learned a lot and have more hope than I have had in a while knowing IJ exists. Thank you!
I like the content. Recently episodes have started including a pop or notification sound every now and then making the podcast unlistenable.
For a long time I thought it was my phone or I was imagining it. Would love to re-rate. Please fix this issue.

I absolutely love IJ. I met a Dr. in NC who has worked with them; and he told me they are top notch. These are important stories that need to be told. Keep up the great work!
