Matt covers timely topics in an entertaining way.
Covering current issues in the law that are not covered similarly in other law focused podcasts, this show makes the subject matter easy to understand and extracts the marrow of the issues. Very well put together not only with respect to analysis and exposure to experts in the field, but also in terms of production and pacing. Lawyers will appreciate the methodical approach and non lawyers will have a window into how questions are decided and are evolving. Recommended.
This podcast provides one of the best unbiased, balanced, and insightful discussions of legal issues that I’ve seen. The host, Matt Schwartz, gets behind the rhetoric and distills what could be boring legal issues into interesting compelling, easy-to-understand stories. Could not recommend more highly.
This podcast seems to specialize in the life changing yet rarely covered issues in the world of law, but don’t let that scare you. Uncommon Law is both approachable and entertaining, while also remind us why to be ignorant of the law is to be like a bird without knowledge of the wind.
