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.
Great literature should do more than entertain us. It should provide a roadmap to improving our lives.
In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens introduced readers to Sydney Carton, one of literature's most compelling and deeply flawed characters. Dickens also gives him an unusual title: the Jackal.
His struggles raise questions that remain relevant today.
Are we defined by our past mistakes? Can we overcome our weaknesses? What separates the people we are from the people we could become?
Lessons From the Jackal is a 25-day character study exploring these questions through Sydney Carton’s life, decisions, relationships, and personal development.
This is not a traditional course on A Tale of Two Cities. Our reading assignments will focus specifically on Carton, with sufficient background provided to understand his story. No previous knowledge of the novel is necessary.
Each day will feature selected readings, historical comparisons, reflection questions, discussions, and practical challenges ...
