  2. Episode 2

    The Illegalities of the BAU

    In this episode, I'm joined by my friends Des (@dezeerae) and Laura (@laurels413) while we chat criminal procedurals, compartmentalizing trauma, and how Aaron Hotchner hung up his lawyer briefcase for the chance to shoot bad guys.  A content warning - if you would find any of the content of Criminal Minds difficult, you may want to skip this episode, as we talk pretty openly about the different types of violent crimes.  Got an episode request?

  3. Episode 3

    Jesus and Jurisprudence

    In this episode, I'm joined by my friends Ian (@lawblrwithalcohol) and Harumi (@angrybabylawyer) to pick their brains on how they balance their litigation lifestyle with their faith.  As someone who is firmly agnostic - we could probably define my beliefs as 'there is something and I don't need to know what it is or to put a label on it' - it's always fun for me to chat with people about their relationship with their God in an honest and open fashion.  Got an episode request?

    And So I Quit

    In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Nissa (@adustierstar) to chat about her life after trying to make "the law thing" work for her. She tells me when she knew lawyering wasn't right for her, why she tried to make it work anyway, and whether a JD really does translate into a "do anything" degree.  A Content Warning - at 3:58 there is a short anecdote from family court involving self-harm; skip 30 seconds if you need.  Got an episode request?

    Making Shiny Stuff With the Boston Wondertwins

    In this episode, I'm joined by my friends Ian (@lawblrwithalcohol) and Emily (@mledayc /@emdayc) to swap stories about how hobbies keep us sane, making time for them with a busy legal practice, and how our goblin brains can't help but love shiny things. Emily's designs will soon be live via LuciliaDesigns with a sneak peek here Ian's fully painted army can be seen here  Got an episode request?

    Fantasy Rules of Procedure

    In this episode, I'm joined by my friend Harumi (@helloharumi aka @angrybabylawyer) while we scream about the good and the bad of Gideon the Ninth, what makes a good and a bad fantasy story, and why lawyers can't just read books for fun.  Got an episode request?

    First Gen Battle Scars

Remember kids, friends don't let friends go to law school. And if you must do it, do it well prepared by checking out my anthology of 0L/1L advice from over the years.  Got an episode request?

    So You Married A Lawyer

    In this episode, I'm joined by my friends Garrett (@_gnicf) and Marissa (@themarrissafish)  to chat about marriage, divorce, and bringing your lawyer brain home with you.  A Content Warning: Several of our clients/colleagues have died, and if that's not something you want to listen to, best to skip the episode as we talk about it pretty openly at various intervals.  Got an episode request?
