Amarica's Constitution - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Stephen Toulmin called it the return to reason and in many ways this podcast attempts to make constitutional issues understandable and reasonable. I am a lay person- retired business professional and - many years ago - a college instructor in debate and forensics. This program is really helpful in making sense of SCOTUS and promoting civil discourse. And Ahkil and Andy have become- admittedly at a distance- friends of the family. Please keep up the effort.

Ignore your disagreement with some of his opinions. What this podcast provides is nothing less than a peek inside the highest court of the land, from one of the nation's leading originalists.
News coverage of SCOTUS almost always covers only politically controversial cases, and simply explains it with the judges' partisan affiliations, but Amar again pulls back the curtain, providing related cases, history, and a litany of relevant and intelligent experts, not all of whom he agrees with.
As a young (and not rich) person, I deeply appreciate Andy's masterful skill in drawing analysis and legal themes out of Prof. Amar in a free educational resource such as this. I cannot reccomend it enough for people interested in law, the Supreme Court, or the role of legal arbitration in an increasingly divided society.

I’m not a lawyer or scholar. I listen because I care about this country and want to understand the issues SCOTUS is deciding. I appreciate the deep constitutional knowledge, the reasoned analysis and the civility these conversations offer. This podcast should be required in classes around the country - and at SCOTUS. Thank you for making them.

This is truly an exceptional podcast, which brings together every week the encyclopedic knowledge and uniquely wonderful character of Akhil Amar and the charm and intellectual grace of Andy Lipka. They explore the current constitutional landscape and the fascinating history of our constitution and the country we have become.

It’s with heaviest of heart I finally had to delete this podcast from my line-up. Trump just lives rent free in both these guy’s heads and it’s just not enjoyable. Amar has lost his way but I mainly blame his co-host for it. This guy is a liberal whack job to the extreme. When Amar first started his podcast, it was SO GOOD. It was like an extension of his books. Great legal history with the political scene as a backdrop to why the Constitution was what is became. Then solely, his co-host (who seriously suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome) pulled Amar from talking about what he knows best, to talking and talking and talking and talking about Trump. If/When Amar gets a new co-host, do I believe the podcast can return to normalcy. Amar needs to find someone who can keep him on track, to talk about what is original listeners came for: legal history, Original Constitutional interpretation, and allowing Amar to be Amar.
