“I’m giving Dahlia five stars because she is an unparalleled legal journalist and an absolute delight to listen to, and also because I’m guessing she doesn’t have a lot of control over Slate’s subscriber model. But that model is disappointing. Amicus recently announced a weekly-free-episode-plus-bonus-episode-for-paid-subscribers model, but it seems the actual model is a formerly-free-episode-gets-cut-in-half-and-only-subscribers-have-access-to-the-second-half model. For example, episodes used to be over an hour. Now they are usually only 30-40 minutes, and the bonus episode is the same length or shorter. Substantively, the bonus episode often feels like the missing half of the free episode (like Pam Karlan on presidential immunity). If you’re going to charge subscribers for “bonus” content, Slate, make it an *actual bonus,* not the other half of an episode we used to get in full for free. We aren’t paying for bonus content, we are paying not to have a reduction in the content we used to get for free. This model feels gross and it’s really disappointing.”

“I’ve always found the Supreme Court to be probably the most fascinating part of the federal government (but don’t make me choose!), but also the most opaque, so Amicus is great for illuminating all sorts of things about it.
I especially love the episodes that discuss the motivations of the Court...”Read full review »

“Although I’m not a lawyer, I love this podcast. Dahlia leads the lay person into the weeds of Supreme Court jurisprudence and interviews the leading practitioners and journalists with aplomb. Brava!”
