Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Eugene Volokh is one of the country’s foremost experts on the 1st Amendment and legal issues surrounding free speech. Jane Bambauer is a distinguished professor of law and journalism at the University of Florida. On Free Speech Unmuted, Volokh and Bambauer unpack and analyze the current issues and controversies concerning the First Amendment, censorship, the press, social media, and the proverbial town square. They’ll also explain in plain English the often confusing legalese around these issues and explain how the courts and government agencies interpret the Constitution and new laws being written, passed, and decided will affect their everyday lives.

Customer Reviews
Dennis D. Karpf
A knowledgeable but one sided discussion with good potential. Podcast ignored discussion of threats of violence exceptions to free speech by antisemites, pro-Hamas and pro-terrorist actors. Only “pro-Palestinian” free speech limits and events were discussed. What of cancellation of free speech by failure to provide security? Finally, contract rights of Jewish students to access to school spaces and to study omitted.
