I been following Rick since he started H&H on YT and am glad I found his podcast. Rick’s analysis of current issues is always interesting. He even makes corporate law interesting. Definitely worth a listen to get a fair perspective on current issues or gaming law. 👍👍

Rick does a great job discussing the current headlines with respect to the law. This is not your normal law podcast as it is a bit more humanized. So much so that the first 20 to 30 minutes is the “Hangout” portion where Rick responds to community questions (on the YouTube platform), then the rest of the podcast is focused on the subject at hand for the day. So grab a cup of Coffee (or Tea in a Virtual Legality mug for Mrs. Hoeg), start this show up and enjoy. It’ll be both fun and probably educational.
