So... the Supreme Court, eh? I imagine there will be more from this podcast. Does anyone know anything about that? Is it happening, is it not?

I miss More Perfect!

It was my favorite podcast ever, I am so sad they don't make new episodes for this show or Radiolab anymore mega sad. Any reccomendations for new content from similar creators?

So, I'm listening to the more perfect podcasts, and in some of the episodes a judge? Yells oyey oyey oyey constantly. ... . What does it mean, or how did that come about? What's the story behind it.

Anyone get the impression Julia Longoria threw subtle or maybe not so subtle shade at Jad with not mentioning him?

This was an interesting and timely episode.

There was quite a bit of discussion about affirmative action and how Clarence doesn't support it, but I don't think there was any explanation about why affirmative action was initially created or what the positives of affirmative action are.

I think more info on "what it is" would be helpful to provide some context in the story, especially for younger listeners.

I was driving while listening to the podcast, so I may have missed part of it.

Just listened to the new episode on my way home from work. In my opinion, it’s a great return to form for this podcast. As someone who REALLY hated season three (the music-themed one), I can’t express how relieved I am with how this season started.

Even though this opener was more subdued, I definitely appreciated the pure attention to storytelling and pacing throughout. Did anyone else listen?

Was there last night and now it's gone!

Big fan of More Perfect, and I've been listening through the backlog of RadioLab on my Android phone via PodcastAddict for a while now, when I finally decided to buckle down & subscribe to this too.

However, using the link provided on their website, my app is unable to make the connection. Is there anything wrong with the RSS feed?

So I loved seasons 1 and 2 of more perfect, and I figured that a book my satiate my thirst for more in depth looks at influential cases. Does anyone have any suggestions for books that give an impartial look at both sides of a case and how the court reached it's ultimate decision?

Anyone know when this is coming?

Hi friends - I'm having trouble remembering which episode it was where (I believe justice Stevens?) told Chief Justice Roberts that if they pursued a particular position, it "would make the court look bad." And then later he ended up not participating in the judgement.

Thanks!

I am currently a student studying law in India. We don't have podcasts of the type like More Perfect. I came across it and gave this episode a listen.

I immediately fell in love with the episode. I teared up during the part where Whittaker is just in the log cabin and possibly thinking about the case in silence.

The episode got me hooked to More Perfect and I heard all the way till season 2 (haven't checked out season 3 yet).

I gave this episode a listen the 2nd time.

This was during the period I was interning in the Supreme Court of India. The 2nd time, with the knowledge I had about the way law functions a bit more and how our supreme court judges operate, I felt shivers this time while listening to the episode. I could understand the gravity a lot better (because in my head I am also just comparing with a similar situation in Indian Legal history)

It got me thinking about how, in the legal profession in India (at least), mental illness is basically never discussed. It stuck with me that, we don't know much about the mental frame of mind of these judges as well. There's so much burden on them, so much riding on them and they have to live with the legal choices they make through their judgements (probably let's killing off someone on a death penalty case or something like what happened in Political Thicket). It felt scary to even think from the perspective of judges.

Anyways, that's what came to mind. If any of you know any books about mental illness in the judiciary or the legal profession, please let me know.
