    Fantastic!
    As a super nerd myself, I really appreciate the time and effort it takes to put out these podcasts. Being able to listen to the petitions and briefs is especially helpful, as I don’t always have time to read them. Please keep up the good work!
  • Jeanopackanack
    Easy listening & clearly spoken
    Great public service to record & listen to. I wanted to say “pleasant to listen to “ referring to Pippah Getchell’s voice, which is beautiful. However, the facts laid out in this Georgia RICO case are extremely disturbing. When the serious information contained in facts laid out in this official document transposed with the “spin” put out by defendants is almost laughable. But it is not. The lengths these dishonest people would go to attempt to deceive a country of 300M people is difficult for me to fathom. To destroy a democracy for selfish means is diabolical. It seems evil. As a veteran who (gladly & w/o reservation) put my life, safety & well being second to this sacred democracy, it enrages me and the country demands the wheels of justice continue without impediment. Please listen. We need to be more civically active to educate and learn so our appreciation for this great experiment of Democracy can continue to be enjoyed and revered.

    Concurring and descending opinions
    Love this podcast - one of a kind and timely. I wish you’d also read rev concurring and descending opinions as well as the overall opinion
  • jray4794
    Very helpful for law students
    As a law student I have always wished that there was a way to listen to the full opinions, as opposed to excerpts or Commentary. This is a godsend for those of us who like to do housework and homework at the same time :). Nice selection of cases, too. Thank you!

    Better Understand Landmark Cases
    I’m a teacher and often discuss the impact of landmark Supreme Court cases. I’ve always wanted to read more majority opinions but have struggled with making the time to do so. This podcast is just what I was hoping for. The narration is excellent, as is the choice of cases. I like the mix of historic and contemporary cases. Some of the opinions are quite long, so I know that this is a real effort on the part of the host. Thank you for producing these and making the SCOTUS decisions more accessible. By the way… The absolute best title. 😆
  • You are so annoying OMG
    Amazing!
    Thank you so much for doing this! You have a great reading voice, and it's so helpful to be able to listen to decisions in addition to raeding them. You're a godsend to law students everywhere.

    Informative, entertaining, intriguing
    I initially started listening for learning purposes, now I listen just because Pippah does such a great job at keeping me engaged and coming back for more!
