The best podcast on the Supreme Court. Will and Dan are amazing hosts. While they have their opinions and perspectives, they do a great job explaining the arguments and assessing the merits of the arguments without being partisan or dogmatic. They are also delightful together; have a great...Read full review »

Lots of fun, very smart, and keeps getting better. Definitely on team “stop-spending-the-first-twelve-minutes-of-every-episode-on-supreme-court-ethics” though. Keep it up guys!

One of these days, Dan will wake up and realize he too is a Bayesian, rationalist, D&D playing, libertarian-leaning ubermensch. He’ll have his laptop open to SlateStarCodex, a dog-eared Rand under the pillow, and a fourth edition guide on the floor. In other words, Dan will wake up and he...Read full review »

I love that they keep the temperature so low. It’s like if the Delicious Dish was about Supreme Court decisions.
Skidmore271 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/24
Between this podcast and Lawfare’s occasional discussion on SCOTUS, I feel like I’m kept up to date in a balanced way. I do enjoy other SCOTUS podcasts but feel sometimes that they are discussions from inside a bubble in a way that this podcast is not. The only minor gripe that I will air is...Read full review »

Professor Baude, I implore you to remember this five-star review when I send you a clerkship application. Of course, you will have succeeded Justice Thomas to the golden bench (it was a gift). This is a great podcast. I guess people can respectfully disagree and flesh out both sides?

While smart, Will is pathetically unable to acknowledge how his views legitimize partisan actors who only care about their own policy goals—including the Republicans on the Court. He is shocked or confused when an “originalist” abandons the methodology because it would not result in those policy...Read full review »

An excellent legal podcast that has kept me entertained through long car rides and made me look like slightly less of an idiot when discussing Supreme Court cases with my law school friends. The unscheduled and unpredictable nature of the podcast is great for people (like me) who don't have...Read full review »
naishsirilla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/24
This is the premier supreme court podcast on the whole planet, in my opinion. Somehow even better than Dan’s old show that seemingly must not be named. It is always deeply informative, even when discussing subjects that I think I’m familiar with. Also, Will’s take on the Star Wars sequel trilogy...Read full review »
CGW14159265 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/24
This is a little late, but 5 stars just for Dan’s quip about how, perhaps, by virtue of section 3 of the 14th amendment, Trump is not only disqualified but also already magically in prison.
apad201 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/24
There are several excellent podcasts offering first-rate coverage of SCOTUS, but Divided Argument is the best of the best. The commentary and analysis is intelligent, insightful, thoughtful, civil, and even-keeled. Divided Argument is NPR meets SCOTUSBlog, and it’s delightful. If you’re a law...Read full review »
Judge Dillard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/24
On one of the most recent episodes, it was mentioned how many people write-in to leave reviews complaining about how annoying Prof. Baude is and praising Prof. Epps. I respectfully dissent. I won’t trod out my particular annoyances with Prof. Epps (I have more class than that, and they’re done...Read full review »

grrttcnn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/24
I could listen to the hosts discuss SCOTUS cases for hours. Best legal podcast around.
gahwjrfh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/24
An engaging, thoughtful podcast. The hosts disagree frequently, but their banter is always kind. Listen in if you prefer genuine debates about the law over partisan dribble about a rigged judiciary.
trummy97 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/24
Another great episode, but “Felony-Adjacent” is quite boring. With that in mind, I would ask the hosts to rename the last episode the best phrase from the episode: “The Ten Quid.”
Hahatahahysh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/24
The podcast is great. I listen often for their opinions. The way the don’t care about the hysteria of the other legal minds setting their hair on fire all day is refreshing. Dan Epps is the reasonable more normal one. He seems to be more pleasant than Will who always seems to have an...Read full review »
Wellnesslife via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/24
Amazing podcast. My only complaint is that Will is too persuasive, making me suspicious that the conservative Supreme Court’s arguments are weaker than he makes them out to be in ways that Dan is not able to quite tease out. Anyway, as a left-wing non-lawyer, I’m really enjoying it.
RFishBFish via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/24
Always a delight to hear a new episode. Alas, the discussion is a little too quiet. Both male voices are low and quiet, and hard to hear in a moving car. I had to turn up the treble and down the bass. Maybe watch the VU meter a little more closely?
WCheswick via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/24
If you believe accepting millions in gifts from Republicans billionaire donors is not an ethical and judgement lapse, then this is the SCOTUS opinion podcast for you. Listening to a legal scholar who has no problem with that is a little too hard for me to take serious. I actually used to like...Read full review »
Mavsmom19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/24
As a libertarian lawyer, I love this show. The hosts disagree with each other constantly, in a way that doesn’t destroy their friendship. I wish these two would do another podcast about a wider-audience topic (sports? Bridgerton?), just to teach people how to disagree. I miss the pre-social media...Read full review »
AprilEsquire via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/21/24
After so many episodes on Supreme Court ethics scandals, I am throwing in the towel on this podcast. It is maddening to hear Baude devote his impressive mental firepower to so much evasive equivocating. His every sentence on the topic is mealy-mouthed B.S. and yet, incredibly, he believes this...Read full review »
EppsFan44 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/24
I usually like the show but can’t even give it four stars because of the bullying of Prof. Baude over his eminently reasonable position on the Justice Alito stuff. Also, the apparent failure by the listener and Prof. Epps to consider that their evidence tying the Justice to “stop the steal” is...Read full review »
MLS11MLS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/24
I’m Dan Epps Fan 2. Will doesn’t follow me back on Twitter, so if/when that happens, I’ll become Will Baude Fan 1(?). Or maybe Will Baude Fan 2-800… In seriousness, this podcast is fantastic. One suggestion: each of you should give us a book/article recommendation each episode. Pat Sobkowski
PJSSSSSSS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/24
Ok. Bump Stocks. While I pull the trigger once, there is an internal "finger" pulling each shot... about 800 a minute towards loved ones and families and such. But! All those internal decisions really had nothing to do with me. How about a drone with a machine gun? Not sure how it...Read full review »
RedSkyBurns via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/24
*if you can tolerate their VERY non- predicable cadence between shows (HINT HINT Dan and Will). Anyway, they (along with Akhil Amar) are what you need. I love their mutual respect and camaraderie. All the stars.
DanEppsFan2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/24
Dan’s whiny requests for reviews have finally gotten to me. This is one of the best SCOTUS podcasts out there - both in terms of quality of analysis and listenability.
Davis Park via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/24
I love this podcast, even though it’s somewhat outside my specialty. In addition to interesting breakdowns of the latest cases and orders, you also get useful but obscure trivia like what a “dinkus” is. Dan Epps and Will Baude disagree enough to make it interesting, but not so much that they’re...Read full review »
charodon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/24
I’m not a lawyer but am fascinated by Constitutional debates as unfortunately the courts are the last functioning branch of Government. Messr’s Baude & Epps are a model of respectful and nuanced debate. While not the most substantive issue - the back and forth about Judicial behaviours...Read full review »
EireExpat via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 06/12/24
I’m a liberal who discovered Will Baude through his Force and Sweep article. The podcast is great even if you’re not a conservative or an originalist. There is nuanced and intelligent discussion and the dynamic between the hosts is great. This is not culture war stuff—it’s dialogue for the...Read full review »
40 yr Old Dad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/24
This is the place to go for consistently high quality discussions of the Supreme Court’s decisions and actions. Dan and Will don’t trade in partisan takes, but think about the cases, trade ideas, and talk about the more interesting things going on.
Mild Mannered Dallas Lawyer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/24
Easily the best SCOTUS podcast out there. And it’s not close.
legbreaker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/24
This is my favorite legal podcast, and easily one of my favorite podcast of any category. The hosts manage a nice balance of depth of legal insights while still having some levity and rapport with each other. They both pull on experiences clerking for the court and their continued legal...Read full review »
dpsutton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/24
I’ve reached the point in life where I don’t need podcasts to tell me what to think. I appreciate it when they ask the right questions, provide helpful context, and model dialogue over diatribe. This one works. From UVA, thanks Will and Dan!
Darby Cville via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/24
This is (to my knowledge) the only forum for intellectually rigorous analysis of everything the Supreme Court does. You have some places with comparable quality but less quantity (e.g. Adam Unikowsky substack) and others with comparable quantity but less rigor (e.g. SCOTUSBlog, AO), but not both....Read full review »
LockesBrother via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/24
Took a break from chanting Justice Scalia’s Morrison dissent to leave a review: this podcast is the best place for Supreme Court analysis. Unscheduled and unpredictable, as advertised.
DanEppsFan1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/24
Will is sliiiightly more partisan than he’d like to admit but it’s all good because his analysis is very solid. And he’s a mostly consistent originalist, which is rare. But the depth of knowledge about historical cases and the interestingness of the takeaways from current cases are unmatched in...Read full review »

Great podcast for insights on the Supreme Court!
nnnbbbgggtvvvc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/24
The best law podcast for people who want to get deep into stuff. I learn from it every time.
Undivided Allegiance via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/24
You already do a service with your analysis. More 5 stars where this one came from if you’ll publish a recording of the Section 3 article being read in full. :)

This is one of the best SCOTUS podcasts I’ve found. Always happy to see it pop up.
Kate Ramunni via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/24
Divided Argument is one of my very favourite podcasts! The depth of analysis, the funny exchanges, and the erudition of both hosts is incredible. Can’t wait to listen to each new episode.
Joe P Power via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/30/24
Show of hands: is anyone surprised these guys think lawyers from small firms aren’t smart enough to file intelligent briefs with SCOTUS? Wait, keep them up while I count… If your only exposure to the real practice of law is being a judicial clerk and then working at a huge law firm just long...Read full review »
Derd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/24
The chemistry between the two hosts is palpable—reminds me of Mike&Mike in the morning during its heyday. Epps is a brilliant and caustic legal realist; Baude a brilliant and annoyingly earnest legal formalist. The clashes that result make for an eminently listenable podcast, both for its...Read full review »
Doog Doolan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/24
This podcast consists of one host parroting the conservatives on SCOTUS with a straight “face” (voice) while the other host remarks on the 3rd eye they have grown trying to prop up the legitimacy of the court. Reporting and remarking on current decisions as if they are consistent in approach is...Read full review »
