Great
Grateful for the show
Such a great podcast!
I love this. It’s the closest you can get to being inside a courtroom. Some have complained about it being so long, but these reporters are sitting in trial all day every day, and then coming to make this podcast and tell us about what they heard. I think they do a fantastic job.
Short episodes
there is no readon why this podcast should be this long ..it couldve been done in 4 1 hour episodes
