Politicon has offically announced their latest podcast #SistersInLaw, a roundtable-style podcast featuring a conversation between four legal heavyweights, including Boston Global Opinion columnist Kimberly Atkins, former US Attorneys Barb McQuade and Joyce White Vance and Jill Wine-Banks, the only woman on the Watergate prosecution team.
Dubbed the “sisters in law” by MSNBC viewers, the four get together every Friday for a weekly discussion that educates listeners on the legal issues of the week in a fun and accessible manner. The podcast launched at the #1 spot on the politics charts and at #13th overall. With over 1700 five star reviews after the first few episodes, listeners are praising #SistersInLaw as an “insightful and welcoming” “legal podcast dream team.”
Over the past four years, the public has gotten to know Barb, Jill, Joyce and Kim from their frequent appearances on MSNBC and their writing. #SistersInLaw, the podcast, is the result of the demand for a more in-depth version of the easy to understand civics lessons they became known for during the unprecedented administration of Donald Trump. Together, the four women have been practicing or studying law for over 15 decades, and have broad expertise in some of the most important areas on the legal and political landscape including criminal justice and policing reform, foreign and domestic terrorism, voting rights and election law, health care fraud, international drug and human trafficking, violent crime and fighting systemic discrimination.
“I like to tell people to imagine the four of us sitting around with you having a cup of coffee and we’re talking about the law and the news and helping you make sense of it,” said co-host Jill Wine-Banks. “Our show is aimed at smart listeners who may not be lawyers and so we hope it will appeal to a larger audience.”
