“Professor Perlin is a natural interviewer. He gets people talking about their paths in a way that sounds like a coffee shop conversation rather than a podcast. The breadth of experiences he features and the depth the interviewees go make this podcast extremely beneficial for any law student or...”Read full review »

“Just listened to the interview episode with Allison. Agree with the advice about focusing on skills development first, as law students can always learn a new area of law but it’s important to have those experiences as early as possible to be able to do that. And congratulations on How I...”Read full review »

“As in the description line — he goes far overboard putting words in his guests mouth, so it is continually like Jonah: “ you mean (long winded description) XYZ?” Guest: “uhm.. (thinks how to graciously say no)””

“Beyond mapping various career paths, this is an incredible access point and tool for legal cultural immersion. A lot of law students who might not be as fluent in the language and lingo will benefit.
Professor Perlin also doesn’t have an annoying podcaster voice which helps!”
