Stay away from political episodes
Forget the ability to sympathize, the hosts can't even empathize with people who hold contrary political views (this might explain the small number of guests that disagree with the hosts). The grand standing (which after the 2016 election morphs into hysteria) becomes quite unbearable at times. For example, in one episode Mr. Turner compares anyone who believes in international borders to slave owners. His co-host, Mr. Miller, immediately endorses this view which is offensive to the vast majority of human beings on the planet (and believing in international borders is not a shorthand I am using for this review, it is almost literally what is said on the podcast). My advice to any future listener is to avoid episodes that are focused on politics and instead opt for those that are more philosophical, theoretical or discuss areas of law that are not about hotly contested political issues.Read full review »

Listening to Joe and Christian has been so enjoyable and even helpful during my first semester of law school

Interesting research projects are discussed, but the podcast could use some editing to reduce the rambles. Please bring in scholars whose research is more doctrinal so that students can engage with the podcast too.

This podcast features a great balance of excellent substance (including guests) with shenanigans and inside jokes.
