Serious Trouble

This podcast is fantastic. Legal issues related to politics is a bit niche, but if you follow politics enough to listen to The Daily, you will enjoy this content and be able to easily follow it. The hosts do a great job of providing ample context for you to understand the legal commentary. It provides an interesting and balanced exploration of issues from all angles. For new listeners, there are some small inside jokes (RICO hotline, Senate Twink Award for Belatedly Good Judgement) that might through you off during a first listen, but you will catch on quick and love the reoccurrence of these jokes as you get acquainted. Please give it a listen. You won’t regret it.

Thank you, Josh + Ken, for helping to unravel the tangled litigation efforts so many of our respectable and not so respectable politicians, public officials, underpaid Aides, and various celebs generate— even revel in, at times. With the re-election of Trump, your podcast, in particular, is going to serve as a beacon of clarity and sensibility. Thank you!

Unpredictable uploads but the wait is surely worth it. 10/10

Not so much. He has a habit of repeating MSM and right wing press assumptions and narratives. Ken will often gently push back or reorient the conversation, but not every time. Take, for example, Josh’s continual use of the phrase “Hunter’s laptop”. It takes only a few minutes of reading or listening elsewhere (Emptywheel, Mueller She Wrote, more) to realize that there is no such thing as a singular “laptop”, nor was one “abandoned” in the manner which Josh repeats here. There are more examples of Josh’s glosses than this, but this latest really stuck in my craw for its sheer laziness.
