“Absolutely marvelous to have you guys back! And I am so so relieved that you I’m going to continue it. It’ll probably be more regular when you have to schedule it between Texas and the East Coast.! Thanks guys, Louise and San Diego”

“I really enjoy the deep dives these guys take on the National Security law issues and their companionable “back and forth” and off topic chats BUT the constant verbal tics “like” “you know” drive me nuts. For law professors I find it surprising they still talk like that. Today they gave some nice...”Read full review »

“I’ve tried to listen to these two, and even subscribed for a while, because I’m interested in the subject matter. But their off topic ramblings make it too painful. Would not recommend.”

“A podcast with two friends who have ideological differences but find common ground and work to articulate their disagreements for the benefit of the listener. That shouldn’t be as refreshing as it is, but, well, it is.
Don’t get me wrong. Bobby and Steve will make you laugh. They’re a pair of...”Read full review »

“Chesney and Vladeck not only recap but also explain recent developments at the intersection of US law and national security. Although bringing basic familiarity with legal concepts is helpful, the law school dean/prof and prof (respectively) regularly pause to explain arcana or nuances to the...”Read full review »

“Like any tv lawyer that routinely appears on national media, Vladek masquerades his political preferences as legal analysis. Baselessly smearing the court and other legal analyst who don’t arrive at the results that suit his political preferences. If you are on the left side of the aisle and want...”Read full review »

“I’m not a lawyer. I don’t work in government or have much connection to National Security Stuff.
But I’m interested in knowing What’s Going On with my country and the world.
This podcast helps me make sense out of the nonsense ~!
Thanks for doing what y’all are doing”

“While this show does a good job of breaking things down for non lawyers such as myself, I also appreciate the fact that I need to look things up from time to time. The show trusts my willingness and ability to do so rather than shying away from getting too technical. I have learned a ton in the...”Read full review »

“I don’t wanna hear a nerd’s take on sports or entertainment. Twats like Andrew Friedman are ruining a sport that I used to enjoy. And comic book nerds have ruined the film industry. So you win, don’t rub it in please. We come for the law, can you please stick to that.”

Last night’s call that Trea Turner interfered with the throw to first base was bad, but it does not let Don Denkinger off the hook. The call on Turner turned out to be inconsequential. Denkinger’s call cost the Cards the game, and ultimately, the Series. Get some perspective, will ya’....”Read full review »
