    This guy doesn’t think underage boys can be negatively affected by sexual grooming from an authority figure in a school setting? Ok.

  • Good show, but

    I like to hear the show, I like Robert Reisch's way of presenting his material, I like his voice. What I don't like is the way the ads come in, often before he's finished a sentence! Come on, this is handled better on other podcasts. I know they do this to be as annoying as possible so people will subscribe but it wouldn't encourage me to subscribe. I'm at my paid subscription limit already and I'm not going to subscribe to a show that annoys me in this way.

  • Updated review

    Update I still listen everyday. The only reason I removed 1 star is because I much prefer Scott’s original straight forward presentation over the newer “creative writing” presentation.

    If you’re looking for an informed, balanced, or constitutionally sound discussion of crime and law, Crime Tal is the last place you should turn. Hosted by attorney Scott Reisch, this podcast masquerades as legal analysis while serving up a daily dose of hyper-partisan, far-right rhetoric drenched in MAGA talking points, misinformation, and thinly veiled bigotry.

    Reisch may be a lawyer by trade, but you’d never guess it from the way he openly disregards the... more
