  • Only Opinions, No Legal Analysis

    This podcast used to be focused on explaining legal concepts and diving into the legal implications of various topics. Now it is purely opinion and conjecture. There is no fact-based analysis, no legal analysis; there is only opinions, and those opinions are extremely biased with no counterarguments or opposing viewpoints. If you want real fact-based and legal analysis, go check out Unbiased by Jordan Berman.

However, in the last year or two, the exchange between what used to be two opposing guest lawyers has dwindled to barely a whisper with generally only one viewpoint shared these days. I... more

This dedication to impartiality generally extends to legal podcasts, which typically strive to present a balanced exploration of diverse viewpoints.

  • What happened

    Haven’t listened in a while, but thought I’d check out the SCOTUS abortion episode. It’s just two lawyers agreeing based on superficial logic. Bring back a lawyer with an opposing view. Argue. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do?
