OA1: “The Story Begins” – Introducing the Show & Segments

In this introductory pre-episode, Thomas and Andrew talk about their backgrounds and their vision for the show.  We also preview our upcoming show segments and topics, tell you how to get in touch with us, and talk a little bit about how the show got started.

Segments

  1.  Listener Questions:  We field a question from Eric Brewer about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence
  2. “Closed Arguments”:  We look at no-brainer legal “questions” raised by the news media; today, we tackle a New Jersey settlement that allows you to have “8THEIST” as a license plate.
  3. “Are You A Cop?”:  We bust debunk legal myths that “everyone knows are true,” but aren’t, like the classic myth that an undercover cop has to answer truthfully if you ask her “Are You A Cop?”
  4. “Breakin’ (Down) the Law”:  We define a common (but commonly misunderstood) legal term or phrase.
