I regularly subscribe to just two podcasts--This Week In Technology (TWIT) and Lawyer2Lawyer from the Legal Talk Network. Although I have been a faithful subscriber, I have not been a faithful listener as of late. (The short mea culpa story is that I used to listen while commuting to work, but lost my iPhone-to-car-stereo transmitter that makes listening a snap.)
Last week, I had the pleasure of participating in the North Carolina Bar Unconference with Lawyer2Lawyer co-host, Bob Ambrogi, and realized I had been missing some good stuff on his podcasts. So with new FM transmitter cable in hand, I listened to the last three Lawyer2Lawyer podcasts this week. It didn't take long to recall why I had been a faithful listener in the past.
Bob, and his co-host Craig McLaughlin, use a talk show format to cover a variety of topical issues of interest to our profession. Recent topics include the future of the billable hour, lawyers using Twitter for marketing, legal implications of closing Guantanamo prison, looking at Abraham Lincoln the lawyer, and a legal perspective on the economic bailout.The guests are always first-rate, the host's questions are always probing, and the resulting podcasts are always valuable.
I am pleased to say it didn't take me long to get back in the habit of listening to Lawyer2Lawyer. Rest assured, I'm not the only faithful (albeit, renewed) listener--Lawyer2Lawyer was chosen by lawyers in 2008 as the Best Podcast by the ABA Journal and its readers.
