What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love this podcast. Brian asks good questions but like a good interviewer he basically gets out of the author’s way. I have learned so much from just a few episodes and what else could you ask for? It’s like a really good law conference you can listen to at any time (like while commuting!)

Hikergirl11 · May 2021

This is a great podcast, and one of the best options available for a practicing lawyer with a general interest in scholarship. It's hard to get a sense of what interesting work is being done in the legal academy when you're not at a law school, particularly if that work is being done outside your area of practice! It is also excellent to have such frequent and regular episodes. Thank you to Professor Frye and everyone else who makes it happen.

Res Ipse Loquitur · Oct 2019

This podcast is a step forward for those who want to learn about scholarship outside their specialty—and at a sufficiently deep level to count as engagement. The sheer volume is really impressive. I only hope more scholars will imitate the project.

vsj buccola · Sep 2019

Professor Frye's podcast has been an indispensible part of my legal education. During law school, I listened to the show to fill gaps in class discussion and readings, and I use it now to stay abreast of developments across legal academia as I start a PhD program. I highly recommend the show to anyone interested in law but especially to professional law students, who stand to benefit immensely from the show, as I did.
