What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I enjoy listening to the oral arguments as well as the decision summaries. It is somewhat painful to listen to due to what sounds like AI - mispronouncing Justices' names at times, unnatural tone of questions, uneven pacing, etc. If you are willing to overlook that, then this podcast is great for learning and understanding SCOTUS cases.

TheRealRachelB · Jun 2026

In addition to providing an easy way to listen to SCOTUS arguments, the hosts provide excellent and thoughtful analysis of the cases.

Whowantsicecream · Oct 2025

I’ve waited for years for a podcast to replay oral arguments, to synthesize opinions, and to provide ongoing Supreme Court coverage! Alas, this podcast arrived. I enjoy listening to the episodes and following the coverage. Keep it up!

Momager321 · Sep 2025

Fast, reliable, and incredibly well-organized. The show notes are thorough, the timestamps make it easy to jump to key moments, and episodes are posted almost immediately after arguments or decisions. A must for anyone following SCOTUS.
