For my podcast reviews I pick a podcast that I have never heard before and share my thoughts. If I am impressed I will listen to more episodes. The review will be based on the one episode I listened to.

This podcast is exactly what the title would suggest. The host Craig Williams discusses a number of legal issues with Steven Schwinn.
Williams allows his guest to speak without many interruptions. This allows the listener to understand how Schwinn feels. This podcast strikes me as a very technical podcast. If you are not in the legal field or up to date on happenings in the legal field this podcast may come off as rather dry.
In this episode I think they tried to cover too much ground. I would like to have seen fewer topics discussed in greater detail rather than quickly jumping from topic to topic. After the guest stated an opinion I would like to have seen the host ask a follow up question or two to have the guest explain how he got to that outcome.
I do like the recap by the host at the end of the podcast where he states his thoughts. Overall I wasn’t captivated by this podcast. There was enough information that I will probably listen to one more episode and see if it impresses me but at present it is unlikely that this podcast will be added to my library.
Thomas Aquinas is credited as one of the greatest proponents of natural law. During his time in Cologne he was taught by Albertus Magnus. Magnus used the teachings of Aristotle in his mentorship of Thomas Aquinas.
This month this community will focus on Natural Law. What is Natural Law? How is it applied in real world situations? What are the alternatives to Natural Law? These are some of the issues that will be discussed this month.
“The idea of natural law holds that all people, whatever their ethnicity,
culture, or religion, can know the difference between good and evil, right and wrong. The idea, for example, of the Golden Rule—do unto others as you
would have them do unto you—is understood as a principle of moral conduct that everyone can know. While such beliefs are applied to different and changing conditions and problems, the core principles always apply.”
