In Against the Rules, journalist and bestselling author Michael Lewis explores the figures in American life who rely on the public's trust, whether in sports, in business, in the courtroom, or on TV. What happens when that trust erodes and we can no longer agree on what's fair and what's not? With wry humor, Lewis reveals the fascinating humans behind the public roles: the judge, the arbitrator, the scientist, the coach, the referee, and many more. iHeartMedia is the exclusive podcast partner of Pushkin Industries.

Good Analyses by JL
Jul 29
As someone who is overly familiar with courtrooms, and sometimes takes it for granted that others are as well, JL does an incredible job of describing things to people who aren’t and gives great insight into the intricacies and nuances of criminal courts and especially criminal Trials, from jurors nodding off to picking up on the spin both side’s lawyers are trying to put on things , it was very impressive and a great Listen. By the way, it’s not Lewis’ job to play the role of the SEC/FBI/Justive Department, and having sympathy for a person about to spend decades in prison doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you a person.
A word from Dickens on utilitarianism
Apr 3
Bankman-Fried’s favorite philsophy, Utilitarianism, is featured a little bit in “Hard Times,” by Dickens … and includes a word of warning from Dickens to utilitarians!:”Utilitarian economists … the poor you will have always with you. Cultivate in them, while there is yet time, the utmost graces of the fancies and affections, to adorn their lives so much in need of ornament; or, in the day of your triumph, when romance is utterly driven out of their souls, and they and a bare existence stand face to face, Reality will take a wolfish turn, and make an end of you.”
Michael Lewis should go to jail
Jun 24
I’m not sure how he wasn’t implicated in the trial. He was present and documented all this fraud while it was occurring which should implicate him in the conspiracy. His laughing in episode 10 with Levine wreaks of guilty conscience. This podcast also shows him as a complete sellout. There is one episode that is 9 minutes long with 6 minutes of commercials. I get you want people to subscribe, but that just made me stop listening. When I was a kid and I started reading Lewis’ books I had such respect for him. Now I just feel I was duped. He’s a con artist, I couldn’t respect him less. Awful podcast and production, awful person. Talk about selling out for money IN ALL WAYS, especially when you’re already rich
Most disappointing fall
Apr 16
Just pretend there’s is t anything past season 2. If you pretend Micheal Lewis died after that it makes everything before still acceptable. Still cannot believe how incredibly dumb this forced push into SBF is. 1 star for whatever credit is deserved for season 1 and 2. Now if only I could block this podcast.
