SCOTUSblog Expands Podcast Portfolio with Prominent Legal Discussions


SCOTUSblog has made a notable addition to its podcast lineup by integrating Amarica’s Constitution and Divided Argument, alongside the existing Advisory Opinions. This expansion aims to deepen SCOTUSblog’s exploration of Supreme Court and related topics, ensuring a more comprehensive coverage for its audience.

Both new podcasts will maintain their editorial and creative independence, an arrangement that highlights SCOTUSblog’s commitment to diverse perspectives in legal discourse. However, listeners can also expect crossover episodes, featuring hosts from each podcast, to offer dynamic insights during SCOTUSblog’s live blog sessions on critical cases.

Amarica’s Constitution, hosted by Professor Akhil Reed Amar of Yale University, provides weekly insights into pressing constitutional issues. The discussions are co-hosted by Andy Lipka. The podcast promises to enrich legal professionals and constitutional law enthusiasts with its depth.

Divided Argument is characterized by its unscheduled, spontaneous nature, hosted by distinguished legal scholars Daniel Epps, the Howard and Caroline Cayne Distinguished Professor of Law at Washington University in St. Louis, and Will Baude, the Harry Kalven, Jr. Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School.

In a recent episode on YouTube, hosts from all three podcasts joined forces to discuss the current term’s highlights and the evolving discourse around originalism.

To stay updated with these podcasts, SCOTUSblog has assured its readers that their platform will automatically feature these streams upon the release of each new episode, accessible directly through their navigation bar. Legal professionals and enthusiasts can explore the full announcement and additional details on SCOTUSblog’s website.
