Rights matter, but conversations about rights can be polarizing, confusing and frustrating. Lawyers and law professors Claudia Flores and Tom Ginsburg have traveled the world getting into the weeds of global human rights debates. On Entitled, they use that expertise to explore the stories and thorny questions around why rights matter and what’s the matter with rights. Entitled is produced with the... more

  • Smart individuals with Dismissive points and robotic rhetoric

    The first podcast compares American and European history together as not being old, vs that of Libya, and then uses that to explain the derivations of how we define human rights. I’m a bit confused why they did this. Europe is old, like really really old, and certainly shouldn’t be lumped in with the baby that is America (assuming we’re talking about the political factions that developed in these respected places). Much of modern law comes from Roman law, in fact. This is not to be exclusionary ... more

  • Gross treatment of war in Gaza

    I’m disappointed that you platformed Francesca Albanese. She has nothing but contempt for Jews and her crusade against Israel is funded by Qatar and the other super moral oil states.

    Is a shame this episode narrowly focuses on issues with Israel and washes the bloody hands of Iran and her band of Jew hating militants.

  • Disappointing

    I was looking forward to the podcast and expected it to be a more nuanced view of balancing the rights and obligations of different parties from a legal perspective. The first few episodes were OK but it seems less balanced when dealing with really difficult issues like Gaza. Flores in particular seems to have strong opinions and Ginsburg pushes back a little occasionally, but it isn't the balanced discussion of tradeoffs I had hoped for.

  • Sparks of choices and challenging thoughts!

    Up or down are relative to the viewer- Professor Claudia Flores does a great job showing both sides of the coin to poke your thinking process and see things from different perspectives.

    It is for sure a very difficult job she has. She keeps you entertained while exploring completely opposite points of views that might be “right”, “legal “, and “fair” to both sides.

    Great job opening the different taboo boxes and sparking meaningful conversations. It is for sure, what our country, and perhaps ... more

Frequently Asked Questions About Entitled

What is Entitled about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Thoughtful, legally rigorous conversations about human rights, governance, and the limits of rights as political tools. Across episodes, the hosts (two law professors) interview academics, practitioners, and policymakers to unpack how rights are defined, implemented, and challenged in domestic and international contexts. Notable strengths include a knack for clear, nuanced discussion that weighs multiple perspectives, invites survivor-centered or on-the-ground insights, and features a diverse slate of guests—from judges and activists to diplomats and scholars. Helpful for listeners who want deep, connective analysis about rights, law, and policy without losing sight of real-world implications and tradeoffs.
