They've been on Behind the Bastards a few times and I really value how they can balance between thought provoking and zany. Is their podcast more of the same?

Yes, for the most part. Obviously there are heavier topics and moments that require more sensitivity but their dynamic is pretty good reflected in the BtB episodes. I can't recommend them enough but I must advise some moderation, if you take too much of that stuff in at once it becomes quite a mental load.

They have episodes titled 'Formulaic objections' which are commented versions of depositions, mainly from the sandy hook cases, but also others against characters from that universe and they are awesome. I sometimes take those as a sort of palette cleanser, because it is quite relieving to see those characters in a court setting, stripped of their usual ability to just deflect and ramble on.

Interesting, I'll have to check their backlog. Although I really like the analyses of the main guy; they are very sharp when Jones is rambling & deflecting.

Oh yeah, Dans analyses is what carries this show. He is at his best when he is angrily swinging his Analysis like the sword of righteousness, those moments are just perfect.

And there's always several of them in every episode.
