Podcast Review - Lawyer 2 Lawyer

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.

Length: 36 minutes
URL: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lawyer-2-lawyer/id80013534?i=1000642215873

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.

Maxim Gorky - Creatures That Once Were Men - Section III

Section III begins with the group of creatures that once were men sitting around listening to the teacher read the newspaper. As he reads the newspaper they often get into arguments over various subjects based on the articles that the teacher reads. Here we learn more about Kuvalda’s view about merchants.

Gorky writes: “If someone has robbed the merchant, "That is good," says he. "Only it is a pity they robbed him of so little." If his horses have broken down, "It is sad that he is still alive." If the merchant has lost his suit in court, "It is a pity that the costs were not double the amount."

As they drink more vodka and continue to read the paper Kuvalda continues on his rant. "If I wrote for the papers," he shouts, "I would show up the merchant in his true colors . . . I would show that he is a beast, playing for a time the role of a man. I understand him! He is a rough boor, does not know the meaning of the words 'good taste,' has no notion of patriotism, and his knowledge is not worth five ...

An Idea Begins to Form
Inflation was soaring, talks of recession were incessant and I had some money that hadn’t been spent on bills yet. It was time to invest. But what would I invest in?  The stock market didn’t seem appealing. The price of bitcoin was dropping and as much as I would like to own a game used Bryce
