  • Interesting and thought provoking

    I enjoyed listening to this podcast. Mira is a great presenter and gives more detailed information about the stories behind cases that set precedents that are still impacting law now.

    Would love a second season but this was a good listen and will probably become a re-listen.

    Great show!
