Sharp, incisive, brilliant

Melissa Murray, Kate Shaw, and Leah Litman deliver entertaining, accessible analysis of the court. They somehow manage to remain light and playful while delving into the densest subject matter in American government. whatever your background, this podcast is worth your time and attention.
