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.

Cardinal Richelieu has been hailed as a great statesman and as a subversive authoritarian. Depending on who you talk to he was a man needed to strengthen the monarchy in France, or he was a tyrant seeking personal power. Next week I will have a book review that may shed more light on Cardinal Richelieu.
When Lenin was working on his major writing projects he would often pace across the room formulating the ideas that he would write down by saying them out loud. Once he had the idea for what he wanted to write he would often repeat the idea to Nadezhda Krupskaya, who would provide feedback. Once this process was complete he would then write the ideas down.
Here is an AI rendering of what that might have looked like when he was drafting What is to be Done.
This month this community will focus on political subversion. What is subversion? When is it justified? What is the interplay between subversion and agitation? These are some of the topics to be discussed this month.
