  • Excellent show

    A wonderful and insightful show which include, law, debate, history, culture development and policy. I listen to Rest is History and pay for it, but that show is missing whatever that is being discussed here, which suggests that I would pay for this show as well so that we encourage good high quality shows. Long may good debate survive through these individuals.

  • One of the best

    This is one of the best podcasts I subscribe to. The three contributors are all well respected practitioners who’ve clearly given a lot of thought to what they want to say and how to say it. They’re clear; respectful; and modest, but feisty when the need arises. Their subjects are always topical and relevant. As a retired judge I must say they give me something of a thrill of pride, maybe especially when compared to the any-retired-politician-or-commentator-can-make-a-brilliant-podcast crowd. T... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cannabis
Q: Are these licensed products confined for their particular objectives? Or can they be used to treat other?
Yes, medicines are licensed for one particular indication but can be used off-license for other conditions.
Trump and the Rule of Law with Anthony Scaramucci
Q: Let me ask you this question for the benefit of our listeners, is that you did take an appointment on the 21st of July as the Communications Director at the White House, and that came to an abrupt halt 11 days later. Can you explain how that came about?
I was known by Trump for 20 years and was one of 16 people on his executive transition team, but I was fired because I embarrassed him in front of the cabinet when I pointed out that he couldn't veto a sanctions bill against Russia.
Gender Dysphoria Treatment for Children
Q: What was the basis of your challenge?
We argued that the law treated individuals born female differently from those born male, which constituted sex discrimination.
Gender Dysphoria Treatment for Children
Q: Can you tell us a bit about the case?
I was representing the lead respondent, a 16-year-old named Ryan who received hormone therapy to transition, which was later banned by the state.
Sports with Nick De Marco KC
Q: What are the implications of financial fair play rules?
Nick De Marco clarifies that these rules are often misunderstood; they encourage financial stability but do not necessarily promote competition as richer clubs can still dominate.
