The Court Reporter Podcast

by Brynn Reynolds Seymour

The Court Reporter Podcast is a space for court reporters who want to leverage technology and streamline their workflows, to move from feeling overwhelmed and scattered to clear, confident, and assertive in their work and their lives. Hosted by Brynn Reynolds Seymour, this podcast offers grounded conversations, practical insight, and perspective drawn from real experience inside the courtroom. Each episode explores the mental, professional, and relational challenges court reporters face but rarely talk about openly, from managing stress and self-doubt to communicating effectively with attorneys, advocating for yourself, and creating systems that support clarity and balance. Rather than quick fixes or industry noise, this podcast focuses on thoughtful guidance, mindset shifts, and simple strategies that help you show up with confidence on the record and off. You will hear honest reflections, professional coaching insights, and real-world lessons on time management, boundaries, communication, and leadership within the justice system. If you are a court reporter who wants to trust yourself more, think more clearly, and build a sustainable business without burnout, The Court Reporter Podcast is for you.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have spent the majority of my days of the last twenty five years in a courtroom with a judge, lawyers and a court reporter. Despite that fact, listening to this podcast opened my eyes to things I had no idea court reporters were actively deciding and worrying about on a daily basis. I think any attorney that relies on court reporters to make their records, in court or during depositions would be wise to take a listen. I think a few episodes should be required listening for new attorneys going to court or taking or defending depositions. For court reporters themselves that are aspiring to get the most from their careers and possibly expanding to other businesses, listening to Brynn is inspiring and really fun. I can’t wait to see what Brynn creates next!

Thank you, Brynn, for artfully crafting this podcast! This isn’t a one-size-fits-all podcast. It’s a smorgasbord of delicacies in ALL THINGS court reporting. I found myself resonating with Podcast #32 “There is Time For Everything.” Thank you for sharing your passion with the world.

Stnagfr · Mar 2024

This podcast is awesome! I have never heard such a compelling argument for the incredible value and impressive benefits of potted plants in the indoor setting and particularly in your office or work environment. It is such a simple thing and it is so easy to ignore or overlook, but after hearing this podcast I am resolved to populate my offices and home with living, breathing plants! Brynn is very articulate and has an irresistible honesty and transparency that is endearing and disarming, and her content is consistently substantive and high-yield. I can't recommend her podcast highly enough!!

JTR,MD · May 2023

Brynn is a passionate, curious, knowledgeable court reporter who wants to share her story and inspire others to have more fulfilling careers. This was a great introductory podcast to introduce herself and to share an array of topics to discuss in future episodes.
