Update: I’m so glad that Thomas is back! I’m not super familiar with all the details of the last year or so, but I definitely couldn’t continue to support the podcast when everything went down and the podcast was stolen by Andrew. I missed listening to OA so much!! It had always been a staple in...Read full review »

It would be nice if this show would finish playing instead of constantly giving “podcast unavailable” error midway through and skipping to the next episode.

Thomas is hiding 2 people who didn’t want to come forward in 2023 that complained about Aaron Rabinowitz’s behavior towards them. Thomas is a coward and Aaron is part of the organization that handles these accusations so he will definitely squash it. Literally nothing has changed. I was...Read full review »

Welcome aboard, Matt, and I’m so glad you’re back. Thomas. Casey, you rule! I had dropped my Patreon support before but I’m happy to say I’m back and will continue to boost you in any way I can, because I still support the core goals of the show, and I really like the new version.

Welcome back Thomas, and thanks for asking Matt to join. The two part show with Azul was absolutely amazing. Her first hand account of her detention and subsequent “self deportation” was so illuminating, and she is the exact right person to tell it. Thank you!

Opening Arguments was more than AT, but Thomas isn’t the answer. He’s an opportunist, at best. If losing your podcast for 1 year is the worst year of your life; you’ve had a life free of any real problems. OA is now just another podcast led by someone with no marketable knowledge or analysis.,...Read full review »

Sorry, love the content, but the ratio to entertainment is out of balance…guys how much $ do you need? 1-2 30 second commercials is enough per 1/2 hour… you need some management!!!

Good to be able to listen again, and Matt is pretty great so far too.
Petersharris via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/24
Say what you want about Andrew: at least he had the class and grace not to trash Thomas during their litigation. I cannot say the same for Thomas. Andrew kept the listeners out of it. Thomas desperately needs approval and validation, and he craps all over Andrew to the audience to get it. The...Read full review »

The guests and the content of the show are excellent. Unfortunately, the host makes weak jokes, interrupts key points and laughs at annoying times so I no longer listen to it.

Andrew is gone

Great show, glad to have Thomas back. This belongs in everyone’s daily rotation.
guy_phillips via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/24
Alright, after a few episodes to check I’m picking the show back up.
Anthony P123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/24
Back to check out the rebuilding season.

Left after Thomas was locked out of the show, I’m so glad to be able to return now that he’s back!
doombladez via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/24
I am finding the coverage of matters the show has already covered a bit tedious. I like the environmental lawyer, but there is too much naïveté from the host. A whole episode of T3BE is too much
LeonieR_20 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/07/24
So happy you are back. I’m thrilled to listen again. Love this podcast
ataylormade53 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/24
So nice to have you back. I used to struggle through listening to the show because I always hated Andrew. Matt is great, the show is now one of my favorite podcasts instead of something I feel I have to tolerate because I need the info it contains.
Trllz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/24
Andrew and Liz were way better than this.
Don't let me down via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
I never subscribed to Original OA (Thomas and Andrew) because, despite the format and content, it never got its hooks in me. OA 2.0 (Andrew and Liz) was no-go because the host. I listened after hearing Thomas was back and am really enjoying it. Matt (and sometimes Casey) brings the...Read full review »

Where is Andrew ????? Found Liz Dye !!!! I really miss the old Opening Arguments

I forgot how much fun it was to listen to Thomas!! Welcome back!

Everything is better!! Love the Camerons!

I’m replacing my review now that Thomas is back. For those of you that don’t know the history and drama, don’t worry about it, but I do recommend you give this podcast a try (again).

Andrew and her seemed to have great report… shame to hear about them both… I’ll be moving on to… b/c ya’ll boring. ;-)

Thomas is back, I’m back.
MisterMellow001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/24
I always enjoyed Andrew’s and Liz’s informative, funny and interesting perspectives on the legal issues of the day. I didn’t always agree with them, but I always learned something. I find the new version to be boring and not funny, and I don’t come away from it with any new insights. I really...Read full review »

So happy one of my favorite podcasts has a quality host again! Liz was just mean and punched down. And andrew made some bad life choices that made him unlistenable.
Lorephoenix via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/24
I’m glad to have Thomas back. It was sad to see him missing for so long while Andrew did his best to avoid accountability. I’m glad Andrew did not prevail. Welcome back, Thomas.
themanchicken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/24
Now that Thomas is back, I can finally resubscribe. Andrew’s conduct was deplorable; I can’t understand people who took his side when his actions came to light.
Mr. Ra via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/24
OA was my favorite podcast, I just unfollowed because it turns out that without Andrew it isn't interesting.Read full review »

I cannot for the life of me listen to Thomas. BRING BACK THE LAWYER, the comedian adds zero substance to the show.
alvonsire via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/24
Having trouble getting geared up front the new / old show. Thomas is too scripted and contrived. Money grab it seems. If I wanted this I would just hookieness I could listen to his other podcasts.
tmantertix via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/24
So glad to drop the other host and have pod energy/content “up to par”. The new team is great: content and coverage is more balanced, honest, and empathetic to our world today. I love the legal breakdowns and thinking about things in a new way/perspective/point of view. So glad that Mr. Smith is...Read full review »

Books are written with everybody protagonists to explain and experience the world and represent us who don't walk through it. That was always the point of this podcast (there are plenty of pure legal podcasts), it’s good to have somebody back who interviews the expert and raises the odd...Read full review »

Thomas is back! Matt’s story is so moving. As an immigrant I am so appreciative for the work he does. I wish I could give them 100 stars! I love Matt’s partner joining. This is wonderful!!!
MeOnEharmony via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/24
If you want a law show where a bunch of lawyers talk to each other, you can find that all over this app. If you want an expert interviewer to help keep the lawyers on track, so that you can get today’s legal news broken down in a way anyone can understand, this show is for you. That doesn’t mean...Read full review »

Longtime listener of OA, even through the drama. I always found Thomas to be annoying. I appreciate the layman perspective and his occasional questions, but I found his loud attempts at humor so irritating. Andrew and Liz made a better combo, once they developed some cohosting chemistry. Thomas...Read full review »

I’m updating this review since Thomas is back in control. I’ve resubscribed now that Andrew is gone. It’s back to a must-listen show.
interestinf nickname here via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/24
Listened to OA only since Oct ‘23, so I don’t know about the good ol’ days. I did like Liz and Andrew, but it was def awkward. I have really enjoyed this new version, and think Matt and other guests are great. The Part 1 pod about GA hearings is EXACTLY what I was looking for, having watched the...Read full review »

Time to unfollow.
Barley pop via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/24
Loved listening to Andrew and Liz with a nice balance of information and snark. The chemistry between them made the show. This version is just a two guys having a boring conversation. I get you had drama but pretty sure this solution will have all of you come up short.
jimithing41 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/24
I don't know or care about the back story here. When some "new guy" (to me) came on and started talking about how he'd won a great victory against the forces of evil I first thought it was some kind of joke. It sounded like a 7th grade cafeteria argument over a girlfriend. But I...Read full review »
patrickdallas416 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/24
Honestly, I’m just hoping that Andrew, and Liz start up their own podcast. Thomas added absolutely nothing to the project he’s not a lawyer he has no legal training he just attracts from the whole experience. He is just a deadweight. He’s listed as a “comedian“ and I’ve never found him funny or...Read full review »
imodan via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/19/24
I unfollowed after two episodes of the Andrew-controlled show. It just wasn’t the same w/o Thomas. I was also struck by Matt’s empathy and emotional depth when he talks about working within the legal system. Ready to follow this show again.
Heyitscati via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/24
When the changeover blurb dropped last week, I was torn as to whether or not to keep listening. Many have claimed that one or the other has the heart of the podcast. The truth is it took both, the caustic one liner guy with the avuncular 80s nerd that this lister identified with. As to any...Read full review »

Maybe this is too far down the toad but any platform T gets he will pervert to his ends and drag us further apart. I like the lawyer. Bur does do the majority of talking. Thomas can ask questions.
ncogbno via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/24
I was ok with everything different but cannot handle you mispronouncing “Fani Willis”. It’s gross. Her name is FAWN-Y, not Fanny. Do better.
