Public Hearing breaks down Supreme Court cases and major social issues by examining both sides with clarity, fairness, and real analysis - not political spin. Hosted by Bodie Jenkins, the show focuses on understanding before judgment, using evidence and open-minded discussion to get closer to the truth. A deeply engaged high school student, Bodie is involved in the judicial process and public policy, examining multiple perspectives on current court cases and the issues shaping our nation at both the federal and local levels. Every story has multiple angles, and this podcast works to cut through the distortions of modern media, offering a deep dive into the realities and processes that shape our lives. Just as the Supreme Court writes dissenting opinions, he draws from his experience as Mock Trial President to analyze differing points of view with scrutiny - not ignoring them, but engaging them directly. Grounded in evidence and reason, he challenges easy narratives and invites listeners to think critically and challenge our biases. In a time of polarized discourse, Public Hearing offers something different: thoughtful conversation, rigorous analysis, and a commitment to thoughtful, evidence-based discussion.
