This Week in Law (Audio) - Podcast Rankings and reviews

They cover current topics and discuss trends in technology, law, and IP. The commentators are both smart and hip, and for me provided just the right level of detail. More extensive coverage than mere soundbites, without getting pedantic.

As a Law Student, I really enjoy the show, finding the topics relevant and informative.

Keep up the great work!

Other than Doug Lichtman's IP Colloquium (which uses a different format and more narrow focus), this is one of the best IP/Tech law podcasts I've come across. I used to listen to Denise Howell's Sound Policy (on IT Conversations) & Bag and Baggage podcasts and discovered only today that she had started a video/podcast series. I actually watched the most recent episode on the Bag & Baggage homepage, #58, from beginning to end even though the first 5 minutes involved the participants struggling with technological issues. It says a lot about Denise's reputation and the quality of her contributors that I was willing to stick it out. Once the conversation got rolling, there was a fantastically high level discussion of a number of current topics in cyberlaw on issues ranging from the Gizmodo fiasco to the ACTA & telecom law. I don't know whether this was just a particularly excellent group of contributors (I'm under the impression that the cast rotates), but all of them were able to talk extemporaneously and really clearly about some pretty complicated issues. That being said, the episode I listened to was super long and I don't know if I'll have to time to listen/watch a similarly long and unedited show every week.

This is one of the two best shows on Twit TV (the other being Triangulation). Conversations with law professionals who are out in the working legal world (not just journalists) about current critical topics that can affect all our legal rights involving copryright, patents, privacy, software agreements, social networks, etc., in our increasingly tech driven lives. This podcast is extremely important, and I wish more people in the tech indistry (let alone in general) made it a regular listen like I do.

I am a new listener as of a few months, but I’ve already listened to most of what is available in the podcast app. I’d like to go in the direction of law when I can afford to and I work for a family law attorney at the moment. This pod is a very good companion at work and teaches me new things each episode! I can easily see this podcast being enjoyable to many types of people, as well. The host(s) are pretty good with explaining quickly and efficiently what words/ phrases/ etc. mean for the average listener who might not be very familiar with any sort of area of law. Thanks for an excellent listen, TWIL.

I've been listening regularly for awhile. Some episodes are informative, though they tend to drag and are best listened to at double speed. However, the latest episode, 187, is all about sexism, groupthink, politics, and family issues in the workplace; nothing about tech at all. Unsubscribing now; there are plenty of other ways I can get more info in less time.

Really wanted to like this show, but it's unbearably long-winded -- and not due to the material, but the hosts. Two hours is too many. Tighten it up and I'll be back.
