Cup Of Justice

by LUNASHARK®⁠

We all want to drink from the same Cup of Justice... and it starts with learning about our legal system. With tales from the newsroom and the courtroom, co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell invite you to gain knowledge, insight, and tools to hold public agencies and officials accountable. Beginning as bonus episodes to the Murdaugh Murders Podcast with analysis of the trials of Alex Murdaugh and co-conspirators, Cup of Justice launched as its own show in January of 2023 and debuted at #1 on Apple its very first day and continues to be a top rated pod globally. Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell from the #1 global hit True Sunlight (formerly Murdaugh Murders Podcast) take a hard look at everything from the state of news to important cases around the world. INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM Mandy and Liz are two of the most driven and talented investigative journalists who are revolutionizing how news is derived and delivered. Join them as they pull at threads and chase down leads to get the story straight. THE LAW Our first 192 episodes welcomed the expertise of and everyone’s favorite attorney and Co-Host Emeritus ⁠Eric Bland, and now with talented guests from around the globe we empower listeners to understand their legal system in an entertaining format while providing tools to hold agencies and public figures accountable in order to give voice to victims and change those systems for the better. JUSTICE SYSTEMS We know that our justice systems are intimidating, but we will all encounter it at one point. Together, our hosts create the perfect trifecta of legal expertise, journalistic integrity and a fire lit to expose the truth wherever it leads.  Learn more about our hosts and mission at http://CupofJusticePod.com Support Our Podcast at: https://lunasharkmedia.com/support/ *** Alert: If you ever notice audio errors in the pod, email info@lunasharkmedia.com and we'll send fun merch to the first listener that finds something that needs to be adjusted! *** Find us on social media: https://www.facebook.com/cupofjustice/ |  https://www.instagram.com/cojpod/ YouTube *The views expressed on the Cup of Justice bonus episodes do not constitute legal advice. Listeners desiring legal advice for any particular legal matter are urged to consult an attorney of their choosing who can provide legal advice based upon a full understanding of the facts and circumstances of their claim. The views expressed on the Cup of Justice episodes also do not express the views or opinions of Bland Richter, LLP, or its attorneys.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

One of my favorite podcasts! Love the different point of views you three bring to the table, especially Mr Bland! His legal wisdom is always spot on and educational. I could do with less of the politics, though, as it seems you can get overwhelmed with the left media messages.

RebeccaDutchess · Dec 2024

You prove uts not dead and there is hope in our corrupt (sometimes) judicial system. I love how this podcast brings FACTS…literal receipts. Your approach just hits in a different way. Journalism with proper fact checking, conversation between people who have different points of view at times but all points are valid and truly make the listener think. I also appreciate how the three of you listen to eachother and at times make eachother see things from a different point of view. It must be so stressful but you are changing history one good ‘ol boy at a time. (Yes I am very scared about the next 4 yrs- but we can/will do this!!!!) With an honest, moral attorney and two very talented journalists…I’m 100% invested every week. I look forward to our cups up ( mine is 4 shots of espresso) NOW I have to be patient & wait for True Sunlight. Another FAV!!! I love watching all of you GLOW up in your own unhurried & confident way. (David as well- the show would be lost without him) Please don’t stop! I’m from NY- and always wanted to retire down south. Charleston was my plan…not anymore. I don’t think I could live in a good ‘ol boys town……ever! But I will definitely visit! Keep up the amazing educational and informational work. You are shedding light on a dirty little secret a lot of Northerners don’t even know exists!

MEQ0108 · Nov 2024

Been listening to y’all since the beginning. Super smart women and Eric (!) unapologetically callin like it is. Legend. Liz, you’re so sharp and witty, it’s wonderful. Constructive feedback if you’re open to it… I remember many episodes ago you said you didn’t like being called snarky. I was so surprised bc you seem to own the snark. I wouldn’t allow that from my kids or team at work bc it feels cheap and can devalue a message… There is an entertainment element to it. I value your knowledgeable contributions (you’re so smart) so I ignore the snark but if you were to omit that from COJ and True Sunlight, your credibility would reach new heights IMHO. Thanks everyone for all you do to hold corruption accountable!!!! The world NEEDS people like you to speak truth to power. It’s amazing what you’ve accomplished. PLEASE keep up your awesome and important work! And do yourselves a favor: Stop supporting Musk and move to Bluesky! I would follow you there 💗

LululilyGF · Nov 2024

I love waking up on Tuesdays knowing there’s a new COJ episode to listen to. I enjoy all of them but live it when the 3 are all together. I’ve listened since the beginning of MMP and the way they have grown professionally has been impressive. It’s like a friendly group you look forward to getting together with. Keep up the good work and see you next Tuesday!

Jpolney · Sep 2024

The last few months this show has gone from informative and educational to a man bashing dramatic talk show. I am a child of DV, experienced sexual harassment in my years of military service, and am a woman in a male dominated career, but I don’t paint all men as evil. I hold each person accountable for their actions or inaction. Please spot painting all groups of people with broad brushes.
