“Finally, a podcast centered around legal substance and not slapdash political musings. I absolutely love the back and forth between Baude and Paulsen. This podcast consistently galvanizes me to learn more about the intricacies of the law. Keep it up!”

“I pay good money for this podcast, tuned in to hear your thoughts on the Section 3 argument, and I don’t even get to hear Will’s reaction to Justice Kagan’s sarcastic “Oh then I must be right” when J Mitch brought up the article? For shame.”

“I can’t do this one justice. It’s a couple of constitutional law professors discussing the Supreme Court’s doings. Medium takes and very good short backgrounders on constitutional law. You can listen rapt for hours and have zero to show for it in dinner conversation. It sounds boring. It’s...”Read full review »

“Probably the best legal podcast out there. The discussion is always interesting. Will and Dan are entertaining and always presenting arguments in the best light, regardless of the constitutional interpretation approach. Other podcasts do not treat fringe ideas (i.e., originalism) fairly, so the...”Read full review »

“I love this show, easily my favorite legal podcast. Instead of ranting about why, I would rather offer some constructive feedback. Please stop with the Supreme Court “ethics” pieces.

“This is one of my go to podcasts about the Supreme Court and I love how two people with different opinions are able to converse in such a civil and adult like way. As someone that is applying to law school and always wants to keep up with the news and events around SCOTUS and the cases they hear...”Read full review »

“Following through on Dan and Will’s request to say nice things about them.
Dan and Will are both insightful, witty, and undogmatic. Plus, the vibe of this scotus pod is refreshingly mellow. I mainly come here for the implicit propaganda that the world isn’t burning.
It’s very good, and I want...”Read full review »

“This is simply a fabulous podcast.

What’s more, they do it in an accessible way — even non-experts can follow the...”Read full review »

“I put Amarica’s Constitution on ahead of anything each week because I’m less of a law nerd and more of a Constitution and America’s founding nerd.

“Invariably, the first 15 minutes or so of your podcast reminds me of the opening schtick by Click and Clack on Car Talk. But once you get down to the nitty gritty, it’s a fascinating insight into the court and the cases. Keep up the good work.”

“This is my favorite legal podcast. I’m not a lawyer. I like the straightforward analysis without overprint of hot takes.
If you’re ever searching for topics, then I would be interested in a better understanding of the various legal philosophies … originalism, textualism, etc.”
