Excellent non-partisan legal analysis
This is a brilliant antidote to some problems so common to those in the public engaging in political debate, namely that they receive an enormous amount of information through ill-informed, incomplete and partisan sound bites from media commentators on channels only interested in satisfying the left or right. This podcast however, is not concerned with left or right, but right and wrong from a legal perspective. And as long as it protects that above all, it will continue to be of great value to listeners. Thanks!!
5 Stars!
Great pod cast! Keep up the good work!!
