Good for news but very biased

It's rare to find daily podcasts in the legal news world so 2 stars at a minimum for content generation.

With that said, the podcast is extremely biased and should be fact checked as you listen. Only one side is included in stories. For example, only Hamas figures are reported in the Israeli war with no combatant figures; similar with Israeli viewpoints on specific events. Harsh criticism for recusals at the supreme court is consistently presented (even over a stupid flag for a whole episode) but no coverage for actual conflicts (judicial political donations against defendants).

The podcast fits in a mold like CNN. Yes, there's news. You just have to do research to get all of it and know your listening to an editorial board.
