“I heard about this podcast on Serious Trouble and then binged it all in a few days. Ken brings a humorous, down to earth, and well informed take on nuanced legal topics. The production quality is quite good too. Please bring this back Ken, even if it's just you recording in a closet. I'm...”Read full review »

“Make No Law is an incredibly valuable tool for educators teaching First Amendment law. He makes connections between history, logic, legal concepts, and arguments that help make the law accessible and concrete. I even re-listen to older episodes before I teach the topic, even topics I’ve been...”Read full review »

For the...”Read full review »

“And, where your fundamental rights (speech, religion, assembly) are under threat, isn't that where you want to be? Ken White talks to some genuine experts and explores the nuances that most media can't get into. You don't have to be a lawyer to understand it, either.”Read full review »
