Found this podcast from the Sawbones. Tommy is an absolute joy to listen to. Michael is the most easy going “teacher” I’ve ever heard. Helpful topics and not too political preachy. I find myself giggling, or something snorting over what I hear. Good job, dudes.

This podcast is super informative from The legal and layman’s perspective. Tommy’s train stories taught me a great deal about how the railroad industry works.

I love when I can be entertained and learn at the same time. LoveTommy Smirl’s dad jokes!

I love this podcast and all the strange laws and history it brings up. The weird reasons for laws are what influenced my decisions in going pre-law. #198 butter battles was a great episode because I am from WI and relate to the thought that it’s laws are definitely a bit over the top...Read full review »

I’m a law student and I love to listen to this podcast in the background while I’m working. Its a nice overview of general topics and interesting cases. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is the audio quality is not the best and also Tom’s kinda racist against Russians/the Chinese. I come...Read full review »

I love listening to this podcast, especially to get now that every other podcast in my feed is talking about either systemic racism or the pandemic. For a while, Mike’s audio wasn’t great but it’s okay now. If I had to make a criticism it would be that the intro music is awful and I always skip...Read full review »

I am a court interpreter and I am tired of studying glossaries and boring materials. This podcast helps me learn some terms that I actually remember. I enjoy this podcast and it makes me laugh. Thank you guys!!!

Listening from Australia so the legal info is not as applicable here, but still super intriguing nonetheless. Sexual couch will not be forgotten.
Sianloveschocolate via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/08/20
These guys are more than funny. Tommy is still in middle school and Mike is his side kick. Don’t miss any episode.

You guys should take a lesson on how to speak about people with compassion from Sydnee and Justin. It’s clear that you are both very biased against certain kinds of people like addicts and people who break the law. As educated adults you should know better than to think simply breaking the law or...Read full review »

Love the legal content and the dynamic between mike and tommy. I used to work in a law firm and so far my favorite episode is the one on depositions, highly recommended to anyone with an interest in law who likes comedy.
Lizthedestroyer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/20
Love this podcast in every way!! The hosts and their interactions are so charming and the content is super engaging. Binge-listening. So glad I found it.

Love this podcast! It’s funny and informative. I love Tommy’s random thoughts.
Nrse1999 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/20
I’d suggest either getting a new cohost or going solo. Your non lawyer bro in law is terrible and brings this rating down.
Aebone2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/20
I do love this show. I hate the liberal slant. Keep to law not politics. I do HATE the theme song. It’s terrible. That being said I do enjoy the rest of the content.
Caravanmom78 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/20
You two are cool
Hello i am a robot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/19
This show is like listening to your dad and your uncle have a discussion. It’s interesting and they ramble a bit, but the point comes across.
ErcMan013 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/13/19
I love these guys! I’d love to hear more railroad stories from Tommy! I kind come from a railroad background myself 😂.

I was mostly enjoying the show until I got to the episode on sex work. Tommy and Michael are simply too misogynistic and disrespectful for my taste. I’ll guess I’ll just go back to Sawbones now.
Trekchic1701 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/19
I am a fan of all things McElroy, and the banter between these two is great! It’s interesting information and there are always plenty of laughs and inside jokes! I have noticed recently that the number and length of ads has increased. Ads are necessary, but be prepared to either sit or fast...Read full review »

This podcast is wonderful! It presents legal information in a fun and easy to understand way! You can easily pick topics that you are interested in, by looking at the show titles! If you or a family member have any debts, you must listen to the episode on Debtors, it is filled with help for...Read full review »

I gave a couple of these a listen a couple months back and they’re surprisingly easy to binge listen. I will listen to episodes of court appointed at work, on my commute, and even when cleaning around the house. Thanks dudes!!
Venn 999 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/30/19
I love this show, I just wish Mike could keep Tommy off some of his longer tangents.
Benuathanasia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/19
As someone who likes learning legal trivia and hearing jokes dads tell when wives aren’t around, this really clicks for me. Mike expresses the lawful good side of me while Tommy helps balance things out by expressing my chaotic good side. Keep up the great work, dudes!
BomberKid90 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/18/19
Can’t get enough of the McElroy/Smirl families! Tommy’s definition of caveat emptor had me laughing so hard I needed to pull over.
Jason Aimer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/19
Always funny and informative! The banter between these brothers-in-law and the interesting cases presented help open up the fascinating world of law!
maryfromtheattic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/19
Mike and Tommy have the expert/layman dynamic down pat.
PBVARSTIY20 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/19
Great podcast if you are interested in anything legal or about law. Tommy! Quit standing on Mike’s foot!
Phyllo65 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/18
Love this show. Wish the sound was just a little more clear. But other than that it’s great!
Alex Valv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/18
Can’t recommend this show enough! My uncle is a lawyer and we love listening to this show together. It’s really interesting and it’s easy to understand. The best way to spend your lunch break!
SleepyLeafBaby via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/18
Interesting content every time. Guaranteed dad joke too.
nicked off via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/12/18
These two good dudes have fun and remain respectful in their discussions, which always makes for an excellent learning environment! They talk about important things like torts and duties (hehe) and explain it so that any dude off the street can understand. Thanks Mike and Tommy!
Anxious Cervidae via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/18
My path to finding this show was through other family podcasts. Most of them I have faded away from along the way but this one sticks with me. It's a great variation on many of my other podcast subjects, the humor is relatable and yet the show provides a lot of interesting tid bits which is...Read full review »
Sar Newell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/18
I never thought I’d be subscribed to a show about the history of law, but Mike and Tommy make each episode so much fun to listen to that I always find myself coming back for more. I learn something new every time I listen to an episode, and I have a lot of fun in the process.
houndsmoon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/18
This show is a great way to learn fun trivia, and some important basic knowledge, about the law. It took a couple episodes for me to get used to all the cheesy jokes and sometimes cringe-inducing puns, but now I find it endearing! Sometimes I just need something light to listen to, and Mike and...Read full review »
Birdie121 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/18
Listening from the UK I find this podcast hilarious, kind of like having your dad and uncle discussing current law affairs over a beer in your living room! Great back and forth, great fun!! Keep it coming!!
Kimbarker33549 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/12/18
Useful information wrapped up in laugh-out-loud fun.
Runs to Music via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/18
Tommy and Michael are just dudes but they have found a way to make a show that makes me laugh and also teaches me interesting things about the law! Listening to this show always brightens my day!
Jambes01 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/18
As a UK listener with no law background, I still find this show both hilarious and very interesting. Topics are wide-ranging and well researched, which alongside the banter between the two hosts makes for great episodes. Keep it up guys!
Lulluh via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/29/18
I love to listen to this podcast! The way these two dudes manage to make laws fun is amazing. Aside from legal matters there´s always a funny anecdote or two that make it even better.
sixty1secguy via · 05/11/18
I'm not American so the advice in the show isn't so helpful but I love Listening to people when they are passionate about their topic and the chemistry between the two host is solid. makes for easy listening and a fun hourishRead full review »

I am a huge fan of Sawbones and that’s how I heard about your show, I really enjoy Court Appointed and as someone who knows nothing about Law, I enjoy learning things each episode :)
Dm76512 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/18
Ten episodes in and this is already fantastic, love the lighthearted humor and searchable examples! I hopped the bandwagon from Sawbones when I ran out of episodes, and it's exactly what I'd hoped for. The information is fascinating, the dad jokes are wonderful, and both hosts are...Read full review »
