  • The best

    This is the best way to understand the legal implications of what our government is doing. Clear, to the point and providing the context needed to realize that we’ve been here before and we survived.

  • The best discussions

    Corey and John deftly balance humor and critique to bring exceptional analysis and a breadth of knowledge to their discussions. Always enlightening and approachable. John asks great questions of Corey to tease out the depths of his knowledge, while offering both comic relief and his own insightful analysis. I always look forward to the next episode.

  • A Must Listen Podcast

    #300! "The Oath and the Office" is a spinoff of SiriusXM's "Tell Me Everything" broadcast on the Progress Channel. When NYT best-selling author and comedian John Fugelsang and Constitutional scholar Professor Corey Brettschneider get together, nobody does it better. After each episode, expect to walk away more informed and with a deeper appreciation that This Is Not Normal. I HIGHLY recommend "The Oath and the Office" - both the podcast and Professor Brettschneider's book of the same title.
