This summer’s active press cycle has given much fodder for podcasting. From the firing of FBI Director James Comey and related investigations to the withdrawal from the Paris Agreement on climate change to law school rankings, Legal Talk Network hosts have had a lot to talk about. But beyond the salience of news du jour, this month’s accoutrement of shows also featured an intimate conversation with F. Lee Bailey (famed O.J. Simpson defense lawyer), technology tips for travelers, pointers to avoid “slip and falls,” optimizing Microsoft Office, and the latest about the 2017 Annual Florida Bar Convention.
Here are the among many to go live in the last month:
Since May 9th of this year, when F.B.I. Director James Comey was dismissed, the news media has been totally immersed in alleged collusions with Russia, unmasking of U.S. citizens in intelligence reports, and leaks from government agencies.

President Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Agreement on climate change ruffled feathers worldwide.

Together, they discuss the intricacies of preventing workplace accidents and the pertinent regulations addressing that space (e.g., building codes, ADA, and OSHA).
