home an unscheduled unpredictable supreme court podcast home episodes about blog store contact divided argument an unscheduled unpredictable supreme court podcast in partnership with scotusblog all episodes listen now latest reviews apple podcasts best legal pod da is by far the best legal pod a real commitment to discussing the law and doctrine and taking the cases at face value puts da in a league of its own while some pods are essentially just recitations of the facts and holdings of the cases with some hackery layered on top da provides useful commentary and discussion that goes well beyond what one would get from simply reading the cases one request the people me want an unscheduled and unpredictable hat hannahkate17 june 12 2026 apple podcasts delightfully inside baseball as a retired trial lawyer i thoroughly enjoy learning about this part of the practice i even enjoy their off topic conversations dennism366 june 11 2026 apple podcasts smart engaging discussion as a fellow jurist i can appreciate a well informed examination of american jurisprudence cnboyd june 10 2026 apple podcasts my favorite supreme court podcast there are quite a few popular podcasts focused on the supreme court these days divided argument is in a class of its own if you re looking for partisan takes that confirm your priors look elsewhere baude and epps are serious legal scholars who would find hackery embarrassing if learned hand was right that the spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right divided argument exudes the spirit of liberty baude comes from the right of center originalist world epps from the left of center project skeptical world but even these tentative descriptions suggest pigeon holes that the hosts avoid their tone is droll and witty and i find their digressions and geeking out over supreme court minutiae both were supreme court clerks charming and enlightening their analyses of supreme court cases remind me of the best law school classes the ones that pushed back explored problems and puzzles and resisted tidy closure whether you went to law school or not divided argument offers smart serious commentary that generates more light than heat and is a breath of fresh air vop96 june 10 2026 apple podcasts top notch funny informative and really smart just the right amount of conflict too i m hoping for decades of running commentary on the court from this duo s mikhail june 10 2026 apple podcasts good stuff a couple bros who take the law thing seriously yapping scratches the conlaw cartalk itch not for people who want super political takes or can t fathom law existing conceptually beyond tribalist politics repeat themselves often go on some bizarre tangents but always at least intellectually stimulating or entertaining often both caveat i m occasionally lost by some commentary if i didn t read the case the last reasonable person june 10 2026 apple podcasts likely best legal pod not always for non lawyers but for lawyers it s probably the best legal podcast at least for appellate scotus cases both hosts are brilliant challenge each other s ideas and bring top notch analysis to complex legal issues also pretty funny second year associate june 09 2026 apple podcasts latest episode continues to be the most interesting entertaining and educational supreme court podcast out there keep it up zeestro june 09 2026 apple podcasts the best discussion of scotus legal doctrine in an era when most people want to complain about or cheer about the outcomes of cases will and dan focus on explaining and sometimes debating the legal arguments doctrine and precedent that leads to those outcomes they do so in a way that is smart informed i believe both clerked at the supreme court so they know what they are talking about in both the law and court procedure and clear for non experts we need more of this kind of discussion to counter what appears to be a solidifying beliefs that the court is illegitimate or just doing politics it s not the court is nine really smart people generally doing their best to answer often challenging questions in good faith based on relevant legal texts the evidence presented to them and reliable methods of logic and reasoning and this podcast is two smart people doing their best to explain the texts evidence and methods for us non experts the result is better understanding of and hopefully more faith the branch of government that is currently functioning the most like its original design hlstrojan june 09 2026 apple podcasts vocal fry hall of fame title aao1997 june 09 2026 apple podcasts charmingly genuine i find will and dan to be the most willing of all the current court watching podcasts to have genuine discussions about the validity of their opinions will is immensely well informed and dan does a great job of reminding will when he s losing sight of the forest for the trees regarding the real world implications of the court s decisions da remains just about the only legal podcast where i can t automatically predict the hosts views purely from partisan break down i suppose at times the deep dives into minute points of law could be a bit dry for non legal nerds but i think they are delightful not to mention the guys are down right funny worrywort13 june 09 2026 apple podcasts fun but sometimes esoteric i like both posts been listening to dan s pods since 2018 sometimes da discussions are a bit too esoteric for me as a hobbyist but not a lawyer but i still enjoy the show and the ai art is very fun willie boag june 08 2026 apple podcasts great show two highly regarded and influential legal scholars discuss topical national legal issues timm138 june 08 2026 apple podcasts light annoyance usually subsides before next episodes drop drawn to hosts brilliant personalities appreciate the knowledge wisdom and opinions though i am swayed by your persuasions mostly because you enlighten me on the law at times i wish you were both one standard deviation to the left resulting in what i d consider dan epps becoming left of center and will baude taking epps current position in my opinion of centrist or moderate i wish y all could describe your definition of each archetypes on the political spectrum thanks keep up the great work rj brazill june 08 2026 apple podcasts cream of the crop best scotus podcast around hosts challenge each other s perspectives and the listener comes away with a nuanced and thoughtful discussion of the law worldchanging person june 08 2026 apple podcasts delicious my favorite legal podcast and i listen to a lot of them these guys are super smart funny and eminently fair they re so low key it s like the male version of delicious dish i m still waiting for the schwetty balls episode ot 90 june 08 2026 apple podcasts a good deep dive it is very difficult to find a relatively balanced take on the supreme court and while you can guess the leanings of each host they do a great job of weighing the merits of both sides of many arguments i find most sc podcast hosts have a very difficult time objectively considering povs that fall against their pre existing worldviews justinchina june 08 2026 apple podcasts excellent podcast professor baude and professor epps are both extremely impressive their ability to reason and work through arguments makes the show a treat to listen to there s no better and more interesting place to get supreme court coverage capitalsoldier june 08 2026 apple podcasts the lebron james of supreme court podcasts at the end of our anniversary date each year i make my move what do you say we head back to our place and listen to divided argument with will baude and dan epps year after year my wife says no you weirdo if this were bumble ten years ago this would be when i d hit unmatch but marriage is about accepting your partner s flaws even the big ones thankfully hers is a very short list 5 5 stars tipsybeaver june 08 2026 apple podcasts npr
